Children sing for Africa

Children of the Blackmoor Infant school choir partnered with international opera signers in a musical performance, with the ambition of raising enough money to provide support and buy computer equipment for the children of Founi Primary School in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia, a region stricken of high unemployment, poverty and under representation.

The event marked a fantastic opportunity for the school choir; in addition every child in the school worked with the opera singers, dressing up in costumes and enjoying a unique, memorable and musical experience.

The Department for Education believes the taking part in events such as the concert by Blackmoor Infant School promotes the fundamental British values as part of spiritual, moral, social and cultural saying: “By taking part in this event we are encouraging our children to understand how they are contributing positively to the lives of those living and working locally of our school and to society more widely”.
