This past year was full of joy for the Children of the World International Children’s Choir. In August, the 2017-2018 choir members arrived in the United States, and they’re now halfway through a journey filled with learning, friendships, and the happiness that comes from knowing they’re making a difference.
These children couldn’t do what they do without your generosity. Because of your support, they have been able to travel and raise awareness about childhood poverty and the refugee crisis. The choir would like to say a special thank you to those of you who were inspired by their concerts to become a child sponsor or to help a refugee
Your generous gifts have changed the lives of children all over the world … and sent encouragement to a choir of joyful children here in America, too. Thank you for your support.
Here are a few of the adventures the choir has enjoyed so far:

One of the children’s favorite adventures was their trip to Disney World! They went on rides, watched a parade, and made memories that will last forever.
Thank you for impacting lives through your selfless giving toward humanitarian aid and disaster relief! Your generosity has kept people alive and, more importantly, given them hope for the future.
