Watoto Children's Choir

Watoto is Swahili for " the children." Recently, my wife and I viewed a DVD that was loaned to us by our church introducing the Watoto Ministries, as well as plenty of wonderful, uplifting concert footage. The choir is made up of Ugandan orphans, mostly orphaned due to AIDS and civil war. Established in 1992 by Canadian missionaries, the ministry now cares for 1,300 orphans. Please click on the title link for more information. The good news is that they are coming to Taichung. Their website just lists April 6-26 as the dates for Taiwan. However, the dates listed in the media package are different. The following is my translation and all errors are mine. If you work at any of the places listed, ask around and help to confirm these dates. After viewing the DVD, we knew we would be going to see them. My wife is even pushing to go on a mission trip to Uganda in September. While most can't do the mission trip, the concerts are free, so you have no excuse not to go.
