My conversation with these girls was a tiny one.
Just are you having fun and where are you staying and what have you been doing while you are here and do you like it here, but their responses to all my questions were so delightful, so warm, so adorable, so engaging that I just wanted to be able to hang out with them for a day, a weekend. Have you ever met someone who was just so immediately full of hospitality in their interaction with you that you vowed that everybody you came across was going to receive that same kind of hospitality from you? Because it was just so awesome? It was so good to meet these girls, even though it was only for the briefest moment in time.
These girls are singers in a choir and this is how their website describes what they are doing:
Mwamba Children’s Choir is touring in the U.S.A and this is the MUSIC CHANGES LIVES tour targeted to raise $300,000 to help build a school for the orphans and underprivileged children in Uganda. The choir consists of 15 children, ranging from the ages of 7-13 years. Some of these children are total orphans and are full time beneficiaries of Mwamba choir supported through I AM CHILDREN’S FAMILY. The tour will start on the East Coast (Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, DC ) in September 2011 and will end on West Coast (Arizona, Washington State, Oregon e.t.c) in March 2012.
