MATSIKO 2016 -- EAST COAST TOUR |
If you have a chance to see the Matsiko World Orphan Choir on the East Coast, GRAB IT!
This choir shows off an even greater scope of singing ability with new harmonies, choral music and new cultural songs and dances. Nobody can dance as hard, sing as well and amaze an audience as long as the Matsiko World Orphan Choir!
Here is a video of this year's choir practicing at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Columbus, OH.
Despite the fact that this is their first time practicing this song, they sound amazing! This is just a taste of what they can do. Come and see for yourself this summer! Check out our tour schedule on the left and our performance schedule
here. If you have any questions please
email us.

SPONSORSHIP PREVENTS
CHILD TRAFFICKING |
 |
|
|
Click on the picture to
hear Alicia's story
|
Sponsorship truly changes the lives of orphaned and at-risk children around the world. It is hard to believe that $35 can do much; however, once you visit your child on an ICN service trip, you will see firsthand that your support empowers your child to go to school. Click the picture of Alicia to hear her story of being trafficked. Her mother was so hopeless and desperate that she sold Alicia, believing that Alicia would be better off away from her family. Amazingly, Alicia was rescued out of this situation, she received a sponsor through ICN, and even came to the US with the 2016 Matsiko World Orphan Choir! Thousands of children who were previously nameless and faceless now have HOPE because of you. Thank you for giving this life changing hope to your child! |

HELP FOR SALOME |
Salome Barchue has lived in abject poverty all her life. She has spent her life going without, and nobody has cared. Salome is just one of our world's voiceless 600 million orphaned and at-risk children. Even though there are many days her family will go without food due to a lack of money or support, Salome is an encouraging, loving child to everyone she meets.
Despite the conditions she lives in, Salome has hope! She traveled to the US on a past Matsiko tour, and she received a loving sponsor to help her through school. She dreams of becoming a teacher some day, and she hopes to be able to help others in her situation.
Recently, Salome's mother passed away suddenly, leaving her alone in the home with her unreliable father and the responsibility of caring for her siblings. Salome is in great need right now, and ICN wants to come alongside her to support her and her family during this time of great sorrow.
ICN has set up a fund to support Salome and her family at this time. If you would lik
e to give to this need, use the DONATE button
below
to make a donation in Paypal. You may also send donations to the ICN office at
PO Box 7695, Covington, WA 98042. Please include a note
with your donation indicating that it is
designated for Salome. 100% of the support
given to this fund will go to support the needs of Salome and her family.
If you have any questions please email Don.
Thank you for being a part of the few who can hear the deafening silence of our world's neediest children!

TRAVEL WITH US TO INDIA OR PERU |

When the Matsiko tour ends in January, YOU have the exciting opportunity to travel with the children back to their homes in India or Peru. Experience firsthand the welcome home the
children
receive, reconnect with children from past Matsiko
tours, and meet the many children hoping to be a part of the next Matsiko USA tour!
In India, you will experience the daily life of the children in the ICN program. And then you will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal and other amazing sites and wonders of India.
 In Peru you will visit the remote mountain villages spread throughout Peru to help with ICN's sponsorship work. You will also get to witness the deepest canyons in the world with the huge Andes Condors soaring above!
There is so much to plan and prepare so get started now. Tentative dates are January 24, 2017 to February 4, 2017. Find out more by emailing us.
