The Ghetto Kids, a Ugandan dance troupe (an NGO based in Kampala that uses dance and performing arts to support orphaned and abandoned street children) has been selected by Colombian pop star Shakira to perform alongside her at the halftime show of the FIFA World Cup final in the United States this summer. Shakira announced the selection on Instagram after the troupe's energetic video responses to her call for fan dance clips went viral. The invitation marks a major milestone for the group, which has previously appeared on America's Got Talent, with founder Kavuma Dauda — himself a former street child — saying he hopes the global exposure will help raise funds for a new rehabilitation and education centre.
