Beautiful bracelets and necklaces, colorful T shirts and Watoto dolls were on sale attracting a crowd following the Watoto Childrens Choir concert.
Happy smiles light up their faces as they sway to the African rhythms and give praise to the love of Jesus.
“I am not forgotten. I am not forsaken,” they sing.
