On March 22, 13 Uganda children and members of Dance of Hope arrived in the US to embark on a cross-cultural education tour to NY, VT, IL, PA, NC, GA, WI, WV, NH and NC. This tour is organized by World Bridge Foundation, a 501 (c ) 3 non-profit dedicated to creating opportunities for children through organizing tours that all children from underprivileged communities showcase their skills as they raise funds for education.

While on tour, our van broke down in Rochester, NY where we got it fixed but a day later it broke down again in Ohio. We fixed it again and 2 weeks later on our way to Charleston, WV it broke down again 20 miles before reaching.

We have one month left on our tour but we do not have a car. Our van is not repairable so we need to get another one to complete the tour and also be able to do our future tours. There are a lot of schools and children in the US that don’t have any access to the arts, and there are a lot of vulnerable children in Uganda whose lives are transformed by this program. Having a tour van will allow us to continue bringing these programs across the US.

In 2018, Dance of Hope toured across the US and reached over 45000 children. We bring our programs to schools, community centers, festivals and spaces where children that don't have access to the arts can have an opportunity to connect with other young performers.

Our current tour ends June 1st and the next tour will be September - November 2023.

We are reaching out to any friends and well wishers to support us in getting another van so that we can fulfill the dreams of these wonderful children that we passionately support.
