Wow, what a wonderful time!! I blogged many months ago about working with the International Children's Network. Finally, after many months of anticipation, working to find host families and secure performances in San Diego the children arrived. The were in the San Diego area for the weeks of March 18-31st, 2012. It was the most incredible experience seeing these children have such a wonderful opportunity in the united states.
Here is the Story about Matsiko:
MATSIKO WORLD ORPHANS CHOIR
Born from a heart for every forgotten child in the unreached corners of the world, International Children’s Network began its choir program in 2008, with the first U.S. tour of Matsiko Children’s Choir. Matsiko was the first step toward bringing together children from the various countries in which ICN provides sponsorship networking and with its success, the World Orphans Choir was born. The World Orphans Choir tells the stories of the lives and cultures of children from Peru, India, and Liberia through song and dance as the children’s hearts connect with audiences everywhere.
One-to-One!Sponsorship
ICN’s believes in the power of the connection between our sponsors and the children they support. What makes our program unique is the trust we put in that power. Sponsors are given full access to our program through financial transparency and the ability to travel overseas to meet the child they support.
While many organization’s cease funding sponsorship when the child reaches or finishes high school, ICN continues. We believe that the most powerful way to help these children is to break the cycle of poverty, so that
their children are able to live a better life than they had. This is only made possible through a solid education that goes beyond high school and reaches through vocational school, university, and even beyond.
