Hello, my name is Sylvia Mbabazi and I would like to tell you a bit more about the UP4S foundation

The UP4S singing and dancing group will continue to perform at many schools and churches in the Netherlands until July 18. The enthusiasm is radiating again and everyone is happy with the colorful and musical performances.

This Ugandan children's choir/dance group consists of underprivileged children and is affiliated with the Up4s foundation (www.up4s.nl). Our wish is to bring your primary school children into contact with our African culture through singing, dancing, African games, playing djembe and sharing stories. We visited a number of schools together with part of the choir to give a taster. There was great enthusiasm to welcome us again in 2024. We have started planning for this year. Would you like to choose a date in May, June or July 2024 when we can come to your school (again) to provide an unforgettable day? 

From May 2023 to mid-July 2023, our children's choir from Uganda traveled all the way to the Netherlands to raise money for their schools and classmates in Bukomansimbi, Uganda. They have done this by performing throughout the country, giving workshops and selling selfmade 'crafts'. The children's choir comes to the Netherlands at the same time every year, as a tradition. Therefore, for many schools it was not the first time to receive a Ugandan visit.
One of the many places visited was Eerbeek, specifically the Children's Clothing Fair Foundation (SKKB). “Yesterday it finally happened! After all these years we were allowed to enjoy the beautiful djembe, singing and dancing of Up4s again. We are so happy that they came to show us and feel how much energy and strength there is in the youth of Uganda. This is what we do it for!” is written on their website as a result of our visit.
We would like to thank all donors and sponsors, including the Children's Clothing Fair Foundation (SKKB), for their warm welcome and support for the project.
