JEDDAH – Following their highly regarded concert in this Saudi Arabian city, a Filipino children’s choir is donating proceeds of almost half a million pesos to finance the college education of four students in the Philippines.
The 65-member group, Serenata Children's Choir and String Chamber Orchestra, has 45 members aged eight to 16 who are children of overseas Filipino workers in the Kingdom. The children are also students of different Philippine schools in Jeddah.
This is the second time that the choral group is sponsoring students from the Philippines through the concert’s proceeds, which this year amounted to US$10,000, or over P460,000.
The group’s performance last week at the American International School stunned an audience of about a thousand, including diplomats and expatriates of different nationalities and diplomats.
