Connecticut is playing host to a very special event in April of 2008. 
For 15 days, The Sifa Children’s Choir, a group consisting of 20 orphans (ages 9 - 13) from Uganda, will be rehearsing and recording an album in preparation for a 6-month tour of the U.S. to help raise money for their fellow poor and homeless back in Africa.   4E Productions, LLC along with First Image Inc., will be producing the album, a music video and a documentary of this extraordinary story.   The tour is set to begin in Virginia the first week in May.

The featured song of their album promises to be a global anthem uniting people all over the world.  “Together We Can Change the World,” with music and lyrics by songwriter Mark Shepard is a powerful, inspirational song that has a galvanizing effect.  Rilee O’Neill, a charming 12-year-old with an enchanting voice, is the featured vocalist who will be joined en force by a “Choir of Angels.”  The Darien and Bridgeport Choirs will join the Sifa Choir in a majestic rendition, essentially uniting two countries in one voice and tying together one message.  So, in April, the choirs will merge in one voice and rejoice in an astonishing song inspired by an extraordinary story.

The SIFA Choir
The SIFA Africa Children's Choir is a special group of children chosen to come to the United States as representatives of their fellow orphans and suffering children not only in their native country of Uganda, but Africa
at large. 

The Music Video
During their two-week stay in Connecticut, the Sifa choir will take a part in a music video of “Together We Can Change the World.”  The integrated choirs will be seen singing in studio, playing in open fields and ultimately uniting for one purpose.  The song, combined with visual images, should provide quite a powerful message.  

The Documentary
You know the inspiration behind the song, but the inspiration behind the cause and the fascinating stories that come together in this epic tale will be part of a 60-minute documentary that will be produced by FirstImage. Imagine a community where 85% of the people die of Aids and the average age is 16-years-old.  Imagine homes with no parents, houses with no floors and children with no food. Sounds hopeless, right?  Wrong.  In fact, that’s at the core of this amazing story: The joy and hope that resonates in the voices of this magical singing group.  A crew will be flying over to Kampala, capital of Uganda, to join the choir as they prepare for their journey to the U.S.   The entire history of the Sifa Choir will be chronicled along with every adventure they experience during the 6-month process, beginning with the flight to Dulles Airport in April and extending to mid-September when they return to their native Africa.
