Haitian orphans perform for Senior Life Center
0706orphans6
Members of the Haitian orphan choir wait backstage at the Fair Street Neighborhood Center Wednesday morning before a performance for Gainesville-Hall County Senior Life Center members. All but five of the choir members lost everything in the Haiti earthquake in 2010.
The happy children sang and danced in colorful dress, joyfully proclaiming God’s abundant and unending love for them. “Who am I that you are mindful of me?” they sang before breaking into the chorus: “I am a friend of God … He calls me friend.” It could have easily been vacation Bible school at any of the local churches in Gainesville.
