(WJZ) BEL AIR, Md. Ten teenage girls from Namibia in Southern Africa are dancing their way through Maryland.

As Richard Sher reports, they are orphans, living at Children of Zion Village, in Northeastern Namibia, thanks to the wonderful work of Mount Zion United Methodist Church in Bel Air.

Church members Rebecca and Gary Mink are missionaries, who along with the church, bought the land, and built Children of Zion Village.

In all, 55 children, live there. Their parents either died from AIDS, or from the war in Angola.

[…]

The girls leave the states March 19th.

They will be giving a free public concert, Friday night, 7 p.m. at Mount Zion United Methodist Church, in Bel Air.
