The Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda just visited Windsor Park. I am left somewhat speechless at exactly what happened to me during their visit but it was one of those things that makes your heart both crush in agony and explode with joy.
It is one thing to watch advertising that states the fact that something like 8,500 adults die of aids everyday in Africa or to see pictures of children that need sponsors just simply to live and breathe, the two things I take most seriously for granted; However, it is an entirely different thing to see the effect of it right in front of your eyes. To see a choir of children dancing and singing with such joy in Christ, for them to proclaim that they rejoice in Christ for what he has given them, even though they have lost one or both of their parents to aids, was overwhelming. It was that sensation of grief that such a thing was possible to happen to so many people and yet the power of their joy interspersed my tears with laughter.
I am ashamed with my pathetic attempts to praise God for the good he has done for me; their praises filled our church, and our praises barely register on a decibel meter...

many of the soviet era terms were assigned to obsoleteness and banished cultural and folkloric terms were restored..
