Sinn Féin MLAs welcome Ugandan choir


North Belfast Sinn Féin MLA and joint first minister Martin McGuinness were on hand to welcome an African choir to the North.
Seventeen children from four different schools in Uganda that have been affected by poverty, depravation and conflict have banded together to form a choir and spent four weeks in the North on a singing and dancing tour.
The ‘Voices of Life’ choir raised funds to give boys and girls from Burundi, a tiny East African country, that has just come out of years of bitter civil war and through conflict resolution is struggling to heal old wounds and build a better future, an equal opportunity for an education and a brighter future.
