The CHATA Concept
This group is about sharing all different talents of art across the African continent with a purpose of fulfilling every artist’s potential as well as presenting the name of Christ to the mass. This is an outreach group that intends to invite, enroll, register and send artists of different talents to Uganda, East Africa in its first year of operation.
This involves in every artist to understand his or her calling and readiness to share talents with other people in Africa. This group considers working through Churches and Para-Church organizations in staging concerts, workshops, conferences and lessons in different Schools across the Continent. The secondary purpose of this group is to carry out fundraising events for the vulnerable communities like the Internally Displaced Persons, HIV/AIDS orphans, sexually abused children, youths and refugees of any given circumstance.
The group also intends to consider the following programs in its agenda, but limited to;
• Evangelism through art to Christ.
• Art Education for fighting poverty and unemployment amongst youths
• Art Education for Peace and Freedom
• Church Development and participation in art
• Health and safety for un-companied children
• Promotion and motivation of African artists with greater emphasis to those the in Church
• Rehabilitation and Healing through art for war victims
• Identifying both possible short and long-term placements for retired International volunteers who would be feeling their calling to serve in Africa.
These programs would be initiated by receiving short-term teachers and instructors of art from the US during the summer seasons to come and teach in various Churches, Schools and Internally Displaced People’s camps across the Country of Uganda in 2009. They can teach the children painting, music and drama PLUS Gospel. Of course it would an outreach program. During their time of stay, the art materials would be collected and packaged in the bags and sold in the States in order to raise some funds for the children and Churches. Others would be sold locally. This would be a wonderful project that would involve many Churches in Uganda, Africa and USA. It is a unique program of its kind.
In the long run, Lord willing, the group envisions going to the level of establishing “Creative Art Academy" in Africa; the first of its kind and nature.
We therefore encourage you all to join us for a better African Continent for Christ through art. For we believe that, solving Africa’s problems requires the involvement of the Africans themselves in seizing and sustaining the solution.

Oh sure! That is so great to hear, Tina! I wish time and space could be possible for me to be there physically!
But, I know, the Lord will deliver His own purpose at such a divine moment!
Greetings to Michelle, Heather and Jake!
Sending all my regards to the brethren whom you will happen to talk to.
Your generous lead in this, Tina, will always count in His glory.
More blessings,
David

I was almost done with contacting Brittanie but my computer slowed down and I am still trying with Facebook.
Thanks. I know she can get more information about Watoto from the team leaders there in her Church. But, in case she wants to know something that I know about Watoto, I will share with her.
Thanks for this link, Tina.

- I will be sending another friend suggestion to you and Brittanie who is the girl from Newport Church informing me. So you can let her know directly about your familiarity with Watoto.
