Hyper kids Africa has made Uganda proud.

This group of young dancers participated in the prestigious America Got Talent (AGT) show in Los Angeles, United States of America (USA) on Sunday March 17. They put up a wonderful performance that thrilled the judges and audience.

It has been the children’s dream to perform on a world stage. Their performance will air out to the world soon.

Their founder and manager, Moses Butindo says, they have always worked hard and trusted God and He has done for them.

“It was an amazing trip. All these kids had never stepped in an airplane or even travelled outside Uganda,” he says.

Meanwhile, the group qualified for the next level after getting a yes from all the four judges including; Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum and Sofía Vergara.

After the show, the group visited Hollywood and met different people.
