The International Care Ministries Children's Choir began in October 2009, with children from Bacolod City, Philippines. In December 2010, Louise Joachimowski, who is a composer and songwriter, was asked to work with the children during her time in the Philippines. After a few auditions, and evenings of composing, the choir of 14 children started practicing and soon performing. Having all been past recipients of ICM's programs, the children are not only great performers who sing beautiful songs. They are also a powerful testament to the charity's work in hundreds of thousands of lives. This choir represents the efforts of ICM across the Philippines, and tells the story of recipients moving from poverty to hope. "Akon Damgo" is an Illonggo phrase which means "My Dream". Each child, was asked to describe and draw their dreams; who they want to become, where there would like to travel, how they want to influence people and what they would bring to the world. What is incredible is that these children, though they are from poor and often very limiting situations, have dreams that reach the four corners of the earth. And the dreams are not selfish or simple; they are generous, self-sacrificing, complex, and pure.Together with International Care Ministries, my wife Louise and I had an opportunity to take this kids' choir to Hong Kong and make some of their dreams come true.
