Gospel Choir

What brings the Gospel Choir from James Allen’s Girls’ School together is a shared passion for singing and for making Gospel music. The group, led by Luiga Senteza, is entirely self-run, and delights in singing for local groups such as patients at King’s College Hospital, in Cheshire Homes or at church. A visit from Sparrow Schools in 2002 inspired a lasting friendship; the Gospel choir have raised 'thousands' for the Sparrows Foundation and JAGS hosted the world premiere of ‘Lavela Ilanga’ in 2008.

From Jackie Gallagher, the Sparrow Schools Educational Trust, South Africa

Words cannot express how grateful we are for being hosted by you on our recent UK Drama tour. Becoming part of your community, even though only for a brief time, was truly a wonderful experience. The staff and cast members were truly touched by the incredible hospitality they received. The tour surpassed all our expectations and it was a success on so many levels. It is so heart-warming to know that there are people in the world who will go without, who will sacrifice and who will serve, so that others less fortunate than them can be blessed.
