Benefit concert for Congolese refugee family

A year ago, a family of eight was rescued from a West Uganda refugee camp by Catholic Charities and was brought to the United States to live. Sadly the family's father, Sadiki, was run over by a car while bicycling last fall and hasn't been able to work, so Sadiki, his wife Noela, and their six sons ages 2-14 are relying on social services and three church's support to survive: Lafayette United Methodist Church, St. Joseph Catholic Church of Fremont, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Danville.
In an effort to help this family, Don Keeble, who is the chair of Church Council and has been a member of chancel choir at Lafayette United Methodist Church for 20 years, is organizing a special concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 17 at the Lafayette church located at 955 Moraga Road. Donations for the family will be accepted at the free event.
The concert will feature Keeble, who released his first album, "It's All About Love," in 2015 and his second "Do Good, Be Well, Have Fun," and Dave Nachmanoff - a singer-songwriter, songwriting teacher, recording engineer and amazing musician who helped Keeble write his songs, recorded and engineered them and played almost all the instruments, and has a new CD called "Cerulean Sky."
"I've fallen in love with (this family) and had them over for several pool parties last summer," Keeble said, "they'd never been in a swimming pool! So many firsts for this family," added Keeble. "Come support them and enjoy some great music."
