Watoto choirs act as ambassadors to raise awareness about the plight of the orphaned and vulnerable children of Africa.

Youth Encounter and Kids Against Hunger April 13-15, 2012.  FLY will be hosting a Youth Encounter performance team as well as sponsoring a Kids Against Hunger packaging event April 13-15. Youth Encounter is charitable organization that partners with Christian communities to strengthen their youth ministry particularly by sending Traveling music ministry teams across the country to perform in local congregations.  Youth Encounter has also partnered with Kids Against Hunger to provide highly nutritious, life-saving meals for starving children at home and around the world for just $0.25 a meal! Kids Against Hunger’s goal is to eradicate world hunger.  It tries to achieve this goal by having volunteers package highly nutritious, vitamin-fortified soy-rice casserole by volunteers at numerous locations within the USA and Canada. Since 2009, volunteers at Kids Against Hunger’s food packaging centers have packaged over 48 million meals for children and their families around the world and around the corner.  In order to keep the cost low, a bulk of 6000.00 meals are packaged at time and the cost is $1,500.00.  If you want to make a big impact and difference to children who are in dire need of nutritious meals here in our country and around the globe, this is the perfect opportunity for you.  We will be need at least 50 volunteers to package the meals, and we can also use donations to offset the cost!  For more information or to volunteer, please contact  pastorebassa@faithcrco.org or 303-688-3476!
