Little Uganda in Secaucus


Sometimes I find myself in church on a Sunday listening to kids from Uganda singing in a choir. Last Sunday I took pictures of the Watoto Children's Choir, a traveling group of children orphaned by the stereotypical ravages of Africa. They each tell their story-- ones that should evoke tears. But their disposition seem sunny. They all testify to the greatness God has afforded them, and smile with big white teeth through the songs. I wonder if they miss their East African homes and what they think of the crowd of white faces. I wonder whether it is legal to book these children for 27 tour dates in November alone.
