Kampala (Agenzia Fides) - A group of street children in Kampala has formed "The Ghetto kids". All together they dance and do choreography that are already proving to be very popular on the net.
Through dance, the children stay away from violence. The founder and leader of the group is a teacher who set up the collective to help underprivileged children in the community and felt a need to do something to help these kids. Currently, in addition to videos distributed on social networks, the children also carry out live performances. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 15/04/2016)
