Final Touches To The Opening Show

5 January 2011

There are just over 24 hours away to Watoto's Restore Tour debut in Uganda. The nuts and bolts add the final touches to the elaborate stage set-up to tell the story of northern Uganda and her courageous people through music + song + dance. The live event will be presented in Kampala Uganda at Watoto Church Central from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th January 2011.

With real stories from real people, the costumes, lights, music and dancers serve merely as a backdrop for an epic live event that literally transforms lives.

A peak behind the scenes unravels some of the complexities of the production set-up, the scintillating musical preparation and inspiring insights from the organisers.

“Restore Tour is a message of forgiveness, reconciliation, restoration and hope,” says Jackie Ogwal, the Co-Team Leader of Restore Tour. “As a country, we have gone through many hurts and pain; tribe against tribe, region against region for reasons of politics, disease, poverty and so forth. It doesn’t matter what kind we have gone through, forgiveness is always the solution,” she adds.

14-year old Leonard Mawa, a dancer and singer with a real life testimony of forgiveness radiantly comments: “People out there should forgive as I have forgiven. It is hard to forgive but when you do, your life changes and you experience new and better things. The audience is going to love the message, the music and the dance.”

Joan Nakabira, a 16-year old singer says: “Hurting people should learn to trust God and to forgive. It’s pointless carrying a grudge because the longer we hold onto it; the longer we take to heal.”

“I believe people of Uganda are going to love the message when they watch children who have gone through so much; forgive and let go of their hurt.”

Indeed, this life-changing music, dance and drama ensemble tackles deep heart issues and is set to leave no pain un-turned. Come be a part of the journey and experience it yourself. And bring along all your family and friends. Click here for full schedule of the production in Uganda.
