FOREST, Va.—In the United States, water is readily accessible.  We walk to the faucet, turn the water on, and clean water flows.  This is not the case for 1 billion people around the world who lack access to clean water.  Today 6,000 children will die from parasites, diarrhea, malaria, and typhoid—all caused by dirty water, and all easily preventable.

World Help presents Children of the World International Children’s Choir, a choir of orphaned and disadvantaged children from Uganda, Nepal, and the Philippines.  They represent the millions of children around the world who are hurting and suffering from the effects of dirty water.  Children of the World will be performing at Lake Murray Community Church on February 27 at 7 p.m.

Each year, the children travel across the nation singing songs in both English and their native languages, advocating for children’s needs around the world.  Their purpose is to raise awareness of the need to provide clean water in the developing world.  They have performed at Disney World, Brooklyn Tabernacle, Crystal Cathedral, and Focus on the Family.
