We are planning a field trip to see the Children of Uganda performance in Ann Arbor on Thursday, March 23, 2006. The students had the opportunity to see this performance two years ago and it was amazing! The group tours the United Statesevery two years to earn money to support the orphanages where they live in Kampala, Uganda. If you would like to know more about the performance, please check out the website:
