way for the kids to express their appreciation of God, of God's
love, and of the support so many show to underprivileged
children and families around the world. Asante is an eleven year
old Christian organization which currently educates, feeds and
provides medical care for more than 1600 children -- mostly
orphans in Rwanda, Uganda, and Burundi. The choir is made up of
20 children from these developing countries..
