This week is National Trustees’ Week (6-10 November 2023)! Every year, National Trustees Week is celebrated in the first week of November. The theme this year is “Many voices. Working Together. With Purpose”, celebrating the individual talents, viewpoints, and experiences each trustee brings to their board and their collective decision-making and how diversity can help make a charity stronger.

Pearl of Africa Child Care Ltd is thankful to its six trustees for the time, commitment, and enthusiasm given, to achieve the aims, values, and work of the charity. You can read more about each of our Trustees by visiting our website!! www.pearlofafrica.org.uk

Yesterday the choir spent the day at Yarmouth & Freshwater C of E Primary School, teaching the children singing, drumming and dancing workshops before giving the school children and their friends/ families an uplifting, energetic evening performance! A fabulous time was had by all! Thank you to everyone involved in making the day possible and to everyone who came and supported! 🌟

The first day on the Isle of Wight was a pretty special one! The choir went to visit the residents at Brighstone Grange Care Home (Island Healthcare Ltd) where they chatted and did a mini concert bringing music and joy to all!
After lunch they had an afternoon out, visiting the Dinosaur Isle museum and looking at a display about a new species discovered on the local beach just 2 years ago! 🦕 It’s not every day you get to see a dinosaur’s footprint (well unless you live on the Isle of Wight! 🤭)  Today the choir is with a local primary school federation

Yesterday Brighstone Grange was incredibly fortunate to receive a visit from the amazing Pearl of Africa Child Care Uganda children’s choir on their UK tour. They put on a fabulous show and everyone at the Grange loved it!! One of our lovely ladies-103 years young said the children were just wonderful. Thank you so much for bringing the biggest smile and joy to everybody-we cannot wait for a return visit next year please ❤️ For anyone that hasn’t heard of this fantastic organisation-please check out their Facebook page or website.

 

Well, it’s safe to say Storm Ciaran didn’t stop almost 200 people enjoying the Pearl of Africa Children’s Choir last night when they performed at Launceston Town Hall! 🌟Thank you so much to everyone who braved the weather and came to support us, we hope you left with a bit of sunshine in your hearts! 🫶🏼

“We are thrilled to welcome back the Pearl of Africa Children’s Choir to HDS today! Students participated in a range of different musical workshops with our visitors this morning before coming together to perform their new musical talents. Year 7 students were then treated to a performance from the choir this afternoon. It was wonderful to see the choir in all their glory, their sound is infectious and it was great seeing our students getting into the groove. We look forward to watching them perform again this evening. Doors open at 6pm with the performance starting at 6:30pm, see you there!”

Huge thanks to St Stephens Community Academy and Werrington Community Primary School for hosting the choir today and for all of your support, we have had a fabulous day with you all!

On Saturday, the choir were performing at Royal Cornwall Museum, thank you to every one who came along and donated! It’s great to be back! 🤩

Huge thanks to Newcastle CE Primary School for hosting the choir yesterday and inviting two other schools within the Blue Hills Federation, Clunbury CE and St Mary’s Bucknell CE Primary Schools to join in with the workshops, which went down a treat with all of the students!
The day was finished with a sell out concert at Newcastle on Clun Community Centre where the choir received yet another, well deserved, standing ovation! Thank you so much to everyone who came along to support, the event was a huge success! 🤩
