Watoto Children’s Choir

Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:53): I would also like to thank Norman Katende from the Uganda the Pearl of Africa Victoria Association and Jason Wood MP for their role in securing visas for the Watoto Children’s Choir. The choir is made up of orphaned and vulnerable children from Uganda who share their powerful stories of hope and resilience through music and dance. I had the privilege of watching them perform, and their energy and spirit were truly inspiring. The choir not only entertained but raised awareness of the challenges faced by these young performers in their homeland. Thank you to everyone involved in making this impactful visit and their tour possible, and the best of luck to them on the rest of their tour.
