tempeste: Please check out the video link below .

I love the melody and the children dancing .. they are orphans from Uganda .... what started out as play is now helping them collect money for their centre and others in their war stricken country ..

Just goes to show that even when people have very little they find joy in simple things.

Enjoy !!
