and about 20 times more polished (although no less adorable) than about every 'dance recital' that I've ever been to.

(24,151 posts)3. Who cares if it was choreographed? All the more...
impressive actually, that kids as young as those can master and coordinate some pretty sophisticated moves.
A joy to watch.

"There are more orphans in Uganda than anywhere else in the world over 2.4 million children due to the AIDS epidemic, extreme poverty, and decades of civil conflict. Were on the ground in Uganda to help as many of these young people as we can. We give children safe shelter, food, clothing, education and medical care. Through us, children gain an education and the life skills they need for future success. Their lives are completely transformed.
Masaka Kids Africana sponsored children have gone through some of the worst experiences a child could face but through dance and song and sharing their love of Uganda, these children connect to each other and the world. They see their own potential they have hope for their future.
The Masaka Kids Africana is composed of African children, from the age of 2 and up. Many have lost one or both parents through the devastation of war, famine and disease. They represent all the children of a continent and they demonstrate the potential of African children to become strong leaders for a better future in their land.
The children melt the hearts of audiences with their charming smiles and delightful African tunes, accompanied by vibrant dance moves. Nearly every performance is concluded with a thunderous standing ovation. A marvelous by-product of the concert is the inspiration the music brings to virtually every listener. In spite of the tragedy that has marred their young lives, the children are radiant with hope, musically gifted and wonderfully entertaining.
We rely on the generosity of our extended family people like you so we can educate, feed, clothe and support all of our children. Every dollar we save from our performance is also a dollar earned for the continued care of our kids. Our music and dance troupe children will soon begin training again during their school term breaks and over select weekends. Show your support of music and advocacy its so easy to do."...(more)
