Together, students will play and work in community organisations across the city to share musical traditions, culminating in a final concert at the MacKinnon Suites hotel in Kampala.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0Fundraising for the trip is actively underway; projects are entirely self-financed, with each student aiming to raise around \u00a31300 towards overall costs.
