Interviews
Elsa Mugyenzi of the African Children’s Choir
Em: The proposed project for the new school is under way, is that correct?
Elsa: Oh, yeah!
Em: Can you tell us how we can help with that?
Elsa: Yeah! There’s so much, so much need. They’re trying to build this school in Uganda and the website has all kinds of ways you can support financially, especially towards this. I mean, right now we have the land and we just need to be able to start building and on the website, they can always give donations and how to donate.
Em: Thank you so much! Would there be anything else you’d like to add?
Elsa: Yes! Just…encourage [everyone] to come and see the children and help them achieve their hopes and dreams.
The following information is from the United Nations Special Session on Children:
“According to the UN Children's Fund, African children have far higher mortality rates and less access to education than children in any other region. AIDS has orphaned over 12 million African children, and over 2 million are infected by the virus that causes the disease.” (www.un.org)
