Special visits at Christel House Mexico
On Monday, the 29th of June, Christel House Mexico welcomed the
Indianapolis Children's Choir and
The White Rock Children´s Choir from Vancouver.
They arrived at the Christel House facilities and sang eight melodies for our students and staff members. The
Christel House Choir then participated by singing two pieces. At the end of their performance the Director of the Choir from Indianapolis,
Henry Leck, made a donation of musical instruments and gave a cheque to buy a piece of furniture necessary to play the xylophones. They also announced a scholarship for the next school year to Andrea Sánchez Gallego, the music teacher from Christel House Mexico.
At the end of the day, our students invited members from both choirs to go on a tour of the
Christel House facilities.
It was a great visit and a wonderful opportunity to build new friendships and share the love of music across cultures.

Christel House South Africa gets new facility
For some time now, Christel House South Africa has operated in rented facilities. While the children outperformed their peers and met rigorous standards, they struggled to build a campus culture where everyone could learn and grow together. Those troubles ended yesterday with the opening of the “New” Christel House South Africa.
Thanks to a long-term land partnership with the City of Cape Town and with the help of donors in the U.S., South Africa and around the world, the doors opened to students excited to have a bright, vibrant and state-of-the-art facility!
Visit their blog or make a gift in honor of this great occasion.
