The Ghetto Kids, a Ugandan dance troupe made up of street children, spoke of their excitement at being invited by music superstar Shakira to perform at the World Cup.

The Colombian star last week announced on Instagram that the Ugandan kids were her first selection to join her for the half-time show of the World Cup final in the United States this summer.

Unsurprisingly, that has triggered massive excitement at Ghetto Kids, an NGO that started in the Ugandan capital Kampala, using dance and performing arts to help abandoned and orphaned children.
