Episode description

The Watoto Children's Choir is a group of African children's choirs based in Kampala, Uganda, at Watoto Church, founded in 1994. Composed of 18–22 Ugandan children who have lost one or both parents, often due to AIDS or war, the choirs tour internationally to raise funds and awareness for Watoto orphanages. "Watoto" means "children" in Swahili. Operating six choirs, they perform in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas, delivering "Concerts of Hope" that blend African rhythms, gospel music, dance, and storytelling. Their performances share messages of hope, faith, and transformation, often featuring personal testimonies. I’m joined by 4 of their group Graham, Alvin, Jen and Pheona.
