Rene Platini from Querétaro has been volunteering his time to coordinate a choir with the children of Pan de Vida who are interested. It turns out that about 40-50 were willing to make the commitment. The kids in the choir are anywhere from 5-18 years old. Since June, Mr. Platini has been teaching the children vocalization and songs 2-3 days a week. Each practice lasts a little over an hour. In August, his car broke down but he faithfully came to Pan de Vida to continue the practice with the kids, even walking a few miles to catch buses.
He has arranged for the kids to do a performance at an auditorium in Centro Querétaro. They will be singing for bands that play different music and have been provided matching shirts as concert uniforms. One band will be an orchestra and one of the other bands is a group of 4 men that specialize in Beatles songs. The kids were even taken to an establishment that focuses on the music of the Beatles and collects their memorabilia. This was a day that was definitely like chocolate eruption after a meal. They have attended practices faithfully and worked very hard to grow in what they are being taught.
This past week, the group has been gong to the actual auditorium to do their practices and will go each week until the event which will be Dec 8th. Ira drives one of the vans to transport them. He says you can feel the energy from them as they are anxious and excited at the same time. Ira was even amazed at the size and seating available of where they will be singing. We are so thankful God has allowed the children to be a part of something so big that makes them feel so special. We are also thankful to the faithfulness of Rene Platini in his service to make this happen for the kids.
