Our wonderful ROWAN children had their first, star-studded performance on June 20th, 2010, in their very own village, Mawanga, Uganda, while participating in African Child’s Day, a day set aside to celebrate the priceless value of the African child and create awareness of children’s rights. The function began with an opening prayer by our very own founder, Rev. Paul Nyende, and then moved on to a demonstration march around the village, with the children leading the way, holding up signs and posters advocating their ideas. Pastor Paul then said a few inspiring words to the parents and care-givers who attended the event:
“According to the constitution of Uganda, every child is entitled to right for education, shelter, medical aide, freedom, and feeding.”
In conjunction with our music, drama, and dance program leaders, our ROWAN kids then took the stage and presented a poem entitled–“AIDS, AIDS, AIDS-THE KILLER DISEASE”–which related the impact of HIV/AIDS on the African child.
All in all, we couldn’t be more proud of our ROWAN children for demonstrating to the community their talents and sharing their hearts.
