Abaho Gift Conrad - Our Musical Ambassador in Uganda:
I was born in 1992 in Gasabo Rwanda from where the 1994 Rwandan genocide emerged.
At a tender age of one and a half, all my parents and relatives were butchered. I don’t actually know how I survived the machetes.
I wish all the underprivileged children of the world could go to sleep without empty stomachs and gun shots.
I will never rest until my fellow underprivileged people have food, medicine and hope.
I am intending, with the support of Musical Ambassadors of Peace, to organize a first event of over 200 Refugees to present indigenous music, dance and song and restore hope and peace among different groups. These groups include Somali, Congolese, Eritrean, Burundians and Sudanese. The first event will be coordinated within Rwamwanja Refugee camp and will be designed to continue on either a Quarterly or Monthly basis. These events will build long term
relationships between the different refugee communities. These intergroup representations would bring in a feeling of belongingness, togetherness and unity among refugees.
