Introducing the ACC 32 Team

So, I thought that I would give a little bit of information about my team to those who will be following this blog.


As I said before, my team consists of 3 African and 7 Western Chaperones.
**I would have put up pictures of each of these people but I didn't have permission so I figured that I wouldn't**
Introducing Choir 32 ...


Auntie Dorene
Our female African chaperone who currently lives in Uganda. She'll be touring with us as a necessary and much appreciated African presence for the kids, as well I'm sure she'll be helping out with some of the teaching.


Uncle Patrick
One of our two male African Chaperones. He grew up in the Arua (Northern) part of Uganda. Needless to say, he'll be a crucial part of our team with regards to being a support to the kids that we have on the team from the North.


Uncle Frank
The 2nd of two male African chaperones. He is actually going to be our conductor. It is rare for a male to be in this position, but we're real excited to have him there. Frank grew up in Uganda.


Auntie Laura Coatsworth
From London, Ontario, Laura is going to be our Music Supervisor. She will work closely with Frank in making sure that the overall musical presentation is as well rehearsed and presented clearly.


Auntie Rachel Torkelson
From Anchorage, Alaska, Rachel will be serving as our bus driver! Needless to say, a much needed part of the team. She will make sure we arrive safely from point A to point B and oversees the bus in general.


Auntie Angela Lounsbury
Our head teacher for the year from Medford, OR. The kids actually continue their schooling on the road and Angela will be the one that makes this happen! Yay for schooling!


Auntie Sarah Lidstone
From Chatham, Ontario, she will be our Product (Merchandise) Coordinator. A surprisingly high percentage of the finances that come in for the kids education is through product sales ("CD's, DVD's, T-Shirts and Bandannas!!"). Sarah is our Auntie for that job.


Auntie Lindsey Joy Fougeron
Lindsey is from San Diego. Basically, Lindsey is going to be my lifesaver while on tour. Her official title is "Administrator" and she will be overseeing all of the paperwork and, well, administration needs on the road.


Uncle Steve Higgs
For those of you who know me through Briercrest, well, you probably know my good friend Steve as well! YAY for having such a great friend with me on tour!! Steve, from Moncton, NB is going to be our Sound Technician.


Uncle Andrew Stanley
Also, from London, Ontario (no, I didn't know Laura before this), my position is to be the Tour Leader and it's my privilege to work along side each of these incredible people to make this tour run as smooth as possible!!


From what I've learned of each of these people, they are all INCREDIBLE people who love God and desire to have Him as the center of our team! They are each a crucial part of our team and I can't WAIT to serve with them in pursuing the mission of the ACC.


Each of us, along side of our regular tour duties will serve as a chaperone (basically a parent) to these children.
