The article shares the story of orphaned boys from Liberia. All the boys had parents who had died or disappeared in the brutal civil war ravaging their country. While living in an orphanage outside the capital city of Monrovia, they were chosen for an a cappella choir that would tour the U.S., raising money to send home. In the summer of 2003, while the boys were visiting the Charlotte, North Carolina area, their orphanage was attacked twice, first by rebel forces and then by militia loyal to warlord Charles Taylor. |
