PERFORMANCE
Tired of the same old choir performances and craving a more enthusiastic audience?
Join UBUNTU Africa as our support act and perform to a crowd that’s buzzing with energy, cheering you on all the way to the finale!
Simply host a concert by providing a venue, arranging volunteers, and working with our tour coordinators to create a fun and unforgettable event for everyone involved.
SINGING MASTERCLASS
Ready to expand your repertoire and energize your choir with something new?
For a single fee, you can invite as many participants to learn a dynamic African song to performance level!
With learning tracks provided two months in advance and a one-hour workshop, your choir will be ready to shine.
All you need to do is provide a venue, gather some choir members, and coordinate the logistics.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE WORKSHOP
A lively cultural exchange workshop for everyone—students, choir singers, and even the local community!
Enjoy drumming, singing, and sharing stories from Uganda and Kenya in a fun, relaxed environment.
All you need to do is find a venue, gather some choir members, families, and local community participants, and coordinate the logistics for the day.
We’ll provide the materials and activities, and you’ll help make sure everything flows smoothly. It’s a fun and easy way to bring people together for an unforgettable experience, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way!
BILLETING
Open your home to our young Africans for a few nights, and you’ll find the experience both fun and heartwarming.
By the time they leave, they’ll feel like part of your family!
Not every area needs billets, so if you’re interested in this meaningful opportunity, contact Marsha to check if there are openings near you.
Don’t miss out on creating lifelong connections through this cultural exchange!

African Tour Leaders
Abraham and Barnett are both proud products of the African Children's Choir, coming from very humble beginnings. Once you meet these incredible men, you’ll understand why this tour is so important—it gives more children the chance to receive a life-changing education. They’re not just a lot of fun to have on tour, but they also provide loving mentorship and support for the young Africans as they embrace all that Australia has to offer.
Australian Tour Co-ordinators
After joining KwaYa #8 in Uganda as a volunteer, Suzanne fell in love with our mission and jumped right in to help organise the "Colour My World UBUNTU Africa Australian Tour."
She’s now teaming up with Marsha Gusti, KwaYa’s Founder and President, who’s been coordinating this tour since 2013.
Together, they’re dedicated to making this tour a fun and memorable experience for both the Africans and Aussies who take part!
Our Bus Drivers
We have three wonderful volunteers who are giving up a huge amount of their personal time to help transport our special crew up the east coast of Australia.
Not only do they ensure everyone arrives safely, but they also play a crucial role in concert setup and behind-the-scenes logistics.
Their dedication is a vital part of the tour’s success, and we couldn’t do it without them!
