My first ever
blogpost was about the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda. I am really blessed to attend an exciting Church which hosts a lot of amazing events. Watoto visit Coastal Church every year or so and it's always a new group of children all with a terrible history but a promising future. I honestly get very teary-eyed listening to these children speak about what they've been through. Watching them sing and dance always makes me homesick for Africa; although the children are Ugandan, not Malawian, there are so many similarities especially in the singing and dancing and the huge smiles on the children's faces.
The most emotional part of the evening was when a lady who attends the Church met her sponsored daughter on the day of her 40th birthday. There wasn't a dry eye in the entire Church.
I got a picture taken with two of the little girls. So cute!
I took a video of the kids singing one of my favourite African gospel songs. It's called Hakuna Mungu which means "There is no God like you".
I can't even begin to do justice to Watoto with my words; here's the website.
