Les Miserables by Moanalua High School's 2008 Symphony Orchestra @ The Gift of Hope Charity Concert

Moanalua High School's Music Department presents The Gift of Hope A Charity Concert for Mercy Ships Sponsored by New Hope Christian Fellowship Held at Wallace Rider Farrington High School Auditorium on Wednesday, December 10, 2008, at 7:00 pm in Honolulu, Hawaii Excerpt from the program about the charity: "Aside from the music, tonight's concert is about something much greater. It's about the charity. And this year we are proud to give 100% of all funds raised to such a wonderful organization. In America when we feel an ache or discover a growth on our bodies, we quickly head to the doctor to get it fixed. In Africa, for many, doctors are too expensive or simply unavailable. In America we can safely drink water from the tap. In Africa the next sip of water may cause days of fever but you drink it anyway because there are no other options. . . . What was once a Danish rail ferry has been renovated into a floating hospital. With six operating rooms, a 78-bed ward, and volunteers from over 30 countries, the Africa Mercy is able to offer free medical care onboard and multiple programs on shore, such as water sanitation, construction, and agriculture projects that will benefit the surrounding villages long after the ship leaves port." The Symphony Orchestra presents Les Miserables by Claude-Michel Schonberg arranged by Bob Lowden
