       The Imani Milele Choir from Uganda, Africa performed a nearly two-hour concert to a nearly packed house at Community Hope Church in Montezuma on Sunday, June 11. 
       The Imani Milele Choir was founded in 1989 by the Rev. Moses Ssemanda Mbuga as a compassionate response to the plight of the millions of orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda.
        The children are rescued, taken care of, educated and equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to enable them to realize their full potential as well as growing up to become self-sustaining and productive leaders.
      Water wells were set up to provide clean water for poor communities whose only access to water was dirty ponds. Schools were set up for children to receive a formal education.
      Each year the talented group of children from Uganda tour the United States raising awareness of their cause.
      The concert featured uplifting and inspiration songs that share stories of the joy that they have received through God’s love and songs that are an exciting blend of original compositions, praise and worship and unique African drum routines and dance.
      “At our concerts, we rejoice in Christ,” noted a spokesperson for the choir. “His love radiates hope for a brighter future.”
