WOW!!! I knew that I hadn't written on my blog in a long time, but I had no idea it was that long ago. By now, I'm about four months into choir 34's tour. We have done so many thing already and are really having fun!!! Already we have done a special event, visited many museums and traveled to several states.
The children had so much fun singing with Alicia Keys last month that they still sing their song. In October, we performed at the Black Ball where Chris Martin, Queen Latifia and President Bill Clinton were just a few of the special guests. At this event the children sang a Michael Jackson song, called Earth which was a perfect representation of African 
Children. The event was to raise awareness for the AIDS epidemic in Africa. They asked the children to be there as a symbol of hope for the work that is being done. I think they did a great job and there was not a dry eye in the whole ballroom. Who can respresent Africa better than the children who live there.

A few days later we visited the Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. where the children watched a movie for the first time in America. We watched a movie on fighter pilot training and afterwards many of the children decided they were too scared 
to fly planes anymore. The whole movie all the children did was watch planes go over their heads as the 3D plane would extend from the screen. Since this museum we have also visited the New England Aquarium in Boston and saw a 75 year old sea turtle and a giant anaconda snake. The best part was a huge tank that extended from the first floor all the way to the fourth. Here is where the turtle lived as well as many sharks. Later this week we will also visit the COSI museum in Columbus, Ohio. (more on that later)
