The children and their chaperons were hosted by St Joseph's Primary School choir and the two young groups performed together in the finale number, Sing - a piece written by singer-songwriter Gary Barlow and composed by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber in celebration of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
On Saturday night a capacity crowd of 340 whistled, cheered and applauded the children during the evening concert at the North Haven Bowling Club.
Sunday afternoon it was standing room only at the Laurieton United Services Club as over 400 were uplifted by the beautiful spirit of the children from Uganda.
Proceeds from the ticket and merchandise sales will benefit the African Children's Choir. The St Joseph's Primary School community have been fundraising all year to buy a meaningful gift for the children.
When asked what gift they would like, the Ugandan children asked for school shoes. The St Joey's community raised enough to fit each of the children with shoes and will be taking them on a shopping trip tomorrow.
There is one opportunity left to see the choir. There are just 50 tickets available for to nights workshop at St Joseph's Primary School hall. These remaining tickets will be available at the door only for the first 50 people. The workshop begins at 7pm, so get in early to experience this unique opportunity to learn African drumming, singing, dancing and language.
