Quite by chance, my family and I learned about the CD release party for The World Voices Choir, an event that took place just over a month ago.Â We made it a family event — that includes our two daughters ages five and seven.Â It was an amazing and inspirational experience, and it raised money for the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.

I enjoyed this podcast as a follow-up to hearing the choir at our OCDSB Professional Development day at the Congress Center yesterday. This choir and its leader are amazing. What they are doing to bridge the cultural gap and to support children in 3rd world countries with the money they raise. I hope we can get them to come to our school to perform.
