The award-winning Blue Sky Choir from Mongolia stopped by the Malay Mail newsroom for a short performance yesterday.

The choir arrived on Tuesday and will perform in Malaysia from tomorrow until Sunday.

The 22-member choir sang two songs: ‘Moving Towards a Bright Future’, an anthem to end violence against children written by World Vision Mongolia and popular Malaysian folk song ‘Rasa Sayang’.

Established 14 years ago under World Vision’s Child Development and Protection Programme in Mongolia, the Blue Sky Choir comprises at-risk children from all across Mongolia, including victims of neglect, abuse and economic hardship.

The Light House Centre, the shelter home where many of them seek refuge, was set up to provide these children with basic rights such as education, healthcare and nutrition and also rehabilitates them with their families.

The choir is known for singing uplifting and inspiring songs, and has recorded five albums.
