In the final week of the holiday a lot of people decided to go back to project, but I instead chose to go and volunteer in an orphanage in Kampala. The orphanage is called M-Lisada and is a home set up by and run for Kampala's street children. The orphanage is based around teaching the children music. They have their own brass band which performs at functions all over Uganda. Many of the children there were also sitting their Associated Board Music Exams. So, I spent my time practicing with these children and also with the ones who were just beginners. Over the course of the week, I was very impressed with the orphanage. The children had come from nowhere to become extremely talented at a wide range of instruments. Inside the orphanage it was never silent - always a background sound of someone playing a piano, guitar or a wide range of brass instruments. An amazing place...
