Uganda Kids Choir Sends Message Of Hope

WEST POINT, Miss.(WCBI) – A group from Uganda is passing through Mississippi to spread joy and hope.

This group of enthusiastic kids are on a journey to bring a special message.

The choir partnered with the Northside Church in West Point to put the show together.

These featured children have already become sponsored but many others are hoping for their chance.

They come and share some of their talents and dance and sing
Glynetta Hollings, member of hospitality, says the performance is uplifting, energetic, enthusiastic, and its also the gospel.

“The tour combines two cultures together. The kids learn from us but we also can learn from them,”said Hollings.

“It’s a learning process because we think about the traditions and you think about traditions coming together,”said Hollings.

It cost 40 dollars a month to sponsor a child but one time donations are appreciated.
The sponsorship helps children receive an education.

The next stop for the Ugandan Kids Choir is Meridian, where they won’t perform but they will be participating in a camp. After that they are down to Pelahatchie for their next performance.
