KITCHENER —
In 2013, several teenagers from a high school in Uganda came to Canada, and at a local heavy metal concert, they were fascinated by the deep shock of the electric guitar.
They came on a tour of a local non-local organization.
Founded by Valerie Hill, an art reporter at Waterloo regional records, "profit is Uganda's dream ".
She created the charity to support the performing arts of the youth High School in the suburbs of Kampala, Uganda.
Neither she nor any student at Cambridge Middle School realized that one day they would become stars in a documentary about the facility.
Paul Campsall, a local filmmaker at MetaMedia Productions and Paul Francescutti, is working on the documentary, which has been selected as next year's Great River Film Festival.
Canadian actress Jill Hennessy, who attends school in kidina, will tell the documentary.
She was a student of retired drama teacher Catherine Carlson, and she was a volunteer of Uganda's dreams.
The original idea was to make a short video as a fundraising tool.
"But the festival heard about it and wanted to take it away," said Ev Widarski, owner of student placement in the Waterloo area, one of the group's team members. So on Oct.
A team of six volunteers will depart for Uganda to teach creative writing, drama and music in a month and build a fully functional library.
Campsall and Francescutti will shoot cultural exchanges between volunteers and students for the documentary.
"I have always been interested in such projects," Campsall said . " He has been to Uganda twice before.
"They have a sense of adventure.
"Vulnerable youth, many of whom have survived their lives of hunger, poverty, homelessness and slavery, will learn how to play Western instruments, and create a fusion theme song with rock and traditional Ugandan music hints for the documentary.
Hill's first visit to Uganda was in 2012, when she volunteered at school.
She was surprised by the enthusiastic performance of the students.
"We can help them do more of themselves.
"Enough, the better," Hill said . " He added that there is little emphasis on performing arts in Ugandan schools.
Cambridge Middle School was founded in 2004 by a retired nurse with 200 students, many of whom live in the school.
Scarcity of resources-
There are no public-funded schools in Uganda.
The Ugandan dream hopes to develop performing arts through drama, music and creative writing to help students tell their stories.
So far, they have raised $3,000 for schools to buy supplies like projectors and recording equipment.
Volunteers pay in their own way, but they want to raise more money for the school.
