The pair are two of 18 youngsters performing in Albury on Thursday night as part of the Watoto Children’s Choir.

Based in Uganda, Africa, the choir is the musical aspect of Watoto Child Care Ministries, which aims to support vulnerable children.

Since beginning 12 years ago, 79 Watoto singing groups have toured around the world.

The present performers, aged between eight and 13 years, will sing, dance and talk about their lives in the free concert at City Central Church, David Street.

Team leader Osman Kabuye said the children had difficult experiences to share.

“They’ve lost one or both of their parents to HIV AIDS, disease or war and sometimes left to fend on their own,” he said.

Priscilla’s family comprises a single mother and four children while Aggrey’s elderly grandparents could not take care of him and his siblings after their parents died.

Both children now live in a Watoto village, where Priscilla’s mother also works as a housemother.

“It’s basically telling the story of someone that once had no hope, but now they’ve found a hope in Jesus and through the response of the local church to a problem that is almost, you know near-destroying community in Africa,” Mr Kabuye said.

The team leader felt the tour had been going well.

“People in Australia are very kind and hospitable, they've received the children with such loving hearts,” he said. “I find that very much in many aspects we are like Australians; we are very easygoing people and happy people.”

He said the Albury audience could expect an electrifying experience.

“It’s a bit of a merger between electronic music and then African sounds together,” he said.

City Central Church’s Cheryl Moon said the venue also hosted the choir two years ago.

“It was awesome, our whole auditorium was jam packed with people,” she said.

The concert begins at 7pm.
