NEW AFRICA - LEVIXONE AND TRINITY IN BELFAST

I have learned many many things since Fitzroy partnered with Onialeku Primary School,  in north west Uganda back in 2015. One of those things is that I would learn a lot of things. This relationship has turned from mission to partnership over the years. It is a mutual sharing. 

One of the things that I have become acutely aware of is the potential of Africa to rise and catch up with the developed world. Indeed one of the things I have prayed for a lot is that as it catches us in certain areas of wealth that it doesn't pick up the poverty of our greed, self indulgence.

Through the wider work of Fields of Life, who we partner with Onileku though, I have met young people who inspire me and give me a different story of a new Africa.

Two of them are coming to Belfast in September and October. 

Levixone is a multi-award winning pop star. He has won Best Gospel Singer in Africa for about five years in a row and been nominated for Best Gospel Singer in Africa. He has a Ragga-Reggae style that sound intoxicating both on record and live. If you come and see him in The Spires on October 5th you'll be transfixed and I'll dare you not to move. Levixone's faith doesn't only come through on his number 1 hits, he lives it. Growing up in the Kosovo slum of Kampala, he still lives there doing many things to alleviate the poverty and elevate his people to better things.

His friend Trinity is a mover in digital communication but again uses his genius not just to give himself a better life but is determined to help those who were where he was. He has a programme called Elevate that seeks to empower and up-skill youth in underserved communities, in preparation for jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities, to become the next generation of digital talent in Uganda. His aim is "To see that every young person in Uganda has the skills and the opportunities they need to DREAM, BELIEVE AND ACHIEVE."

These guys tell the story of a New Africa and we have an opportunity to hear them.
