They’ve played on the world stage over the past 29 years, the lights shining on these young, talented, Grammy award-nominated children. But when the stage lights go off from each Choir, they’re just a group of kids, playing at host homes, on the beach, or at the park, smiling and sharing stories with families a world away from the slums of Uganda.
