Ugandan Kids Choir – Inspiring!

1–2 minutes

To read

Sometimes you don’t know where inspiration will come from.

I am about to start a bucket drumming club with youth at the local Harvey Rice School in Cleveland on Tuesdays.  Since proclaiming that I would start such a club, I have been in need of a push – just a little nudge to give me some motivation.  I had no idea what was coming!

I was invited by a Sista of mine to attend a presentation of the Ugandan Orphans Kids Choir some months ago.  I received constant reminders about the upcoming show, but still didn’t quite remember.  That’s the busy life!  However, on the morning of the show, I got that final reminder and rushed out the door to find Imagine Academy in Cleveland’s Harvard neighborhood to see the performance.  As I pulled into the parking lot I felt this energy.  There were a number of cars parked as well as the large, nicely painted van for the Childcare Worldwide organization.  I was excited!

As soon as walked in the school auditorium, it was time for the show to start.  I would very soon find the inspiration that I needed.

Enjoy…
