Uganda's Bitone Troupe Uses Music and Arts for Healing

Bitone means "talents". Bitone's approach is to help children and youth heal their lives by teaching them traditional African performing arts; music, dance, folklore and theater. By providing basic food and shelter, a nurturing environment, an academic education combined with a unique and strong performance program of traditional Ugandan dance, music, and theater, Bitone children's lives can again become meaningful and joyful.
