Dear Friends of the SOUP,
We are thrilled to share a major milestone in The African SOUP’s journey—our new partnership with the Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF)! This collaboration marks an incredible opportunity for our students and community, bringing world-class music education, cultural exchange, and significant campus investments to The SOUP School.
ABF, based in Florence, Italy, honors the legacy of world-renowned singer Maestro Andrea Bocelli by empowering communities through education, music, and social impact. The SOUP School has been selected as ABF’s first African partner school for their “Voices Of” choir program. This program will provide intensive musical training, social-emotional wellness support, and leadership development. Our students will have the extraordinary opportunity to perform internationally alongside peers from ABF-supported choirs in Italy, Jerusalem, and Haiti.
This partnership is a decisive vote of confidence in The African SOUP. ABF was drawn to our work because of: The success of our music, dance, and drama program, which placed in the top 25 in the Ugandan national competition for two years in a row. Our commitment to active learning and holistic child development. Our deep roots in the local community. Beyond music, ABF is investing in critical campus infrastructure to support our school and the community. The first phase includes improved sanitation facilities, a health clinic, a welcome center, and new administrative offices. Future projects will likely include a dining facility, an improved kitchen, and new dormitories. T
his collaboration brings greater visibility to The African SOUP, elevating our model school and the Active Learning Project while showcasing the talent and resilience of our students on a global stage. We invite you to celebrate this exciting partnership with us, and we thank you for your continued support!
All the best,
Jill
