Ndere Troupe Cultural
Groupe (http://www.visituganda.com/community/ndere.html)
Founded in 1986, "Ndere Troupe is a group of talented musicians, dancers
and actors from Uganda ... Its goal was to conserve and promote the rich musical,
choreographic and poetic traditions of the many varied cultures that make Uganda
a microcosm of Africa. Education has from the beginning been at the foundation
of the troupe's strategy. Apart from using performance to promote awareness and
appreciation about the cultures of Uganda, the troupe offers music, dance and
drama courses to students and the general public and workshops to teachers. In
a significant development, the Troupe has turned their performing art skills
towards educating the millions of illiterate Ugandans living in ignorance and
poverty."
