A visiting children's choir from Uganda is devastated after it was robbed in downtown Vancouver Saturday while on tour. The Sawuti African Children's Choir is touring Canada and raising money to send underprivileged Ugandan children to school, including its own eight performers between the ages of eight and 15. 'Heartbreaking loss'Doug Sadler, president of Seven Wells Ministries Canada which sponsors the choir tour, says it is a heartbreaking loss. The choir has two more performances in Metro Vancouver, before travelling to Kamloops and Edmonton next week. According to Sadler, the choir tours are a way to recruit new sponsors for children in need in Africa.
