A musical treat to brighten up your day

Hello hello,

After wrestling with the joys of Ugandan internet connections (and electricity availibility of recent) we are very proud to give you the SALVE Anthem.

This song was written by the Salve family in August 2011 during the school holidays. The children worked together to compile the lyrics, dance moves and drama to create this music video and are very proud of the result. We hope you love it too!

Even now we find it still gets stuck in our head – so here are the full lyrics in case you want to sing along Top of the charts here we come?

Salve Anthem

(Chorus * 2)    S… A…. L…. V…. E…., Education sets our futures free, Support and love for who we want to be, Join hands every child in the community

(Verse 1)         Before we came to Salve – We stayed on the street

Before we came to Salve – We never had what to eat

Before we came to Salve – We had jiggers in our feet

(Chorus)          S… A…. L…. V…. E…., Education sets our futures free, Support and love for who we want to be, Join hands every child in the community

(Verse 2)         Now we are in Salve – We love to read and write

Now we are in Salve -  We share not to fight

Now we are in Salve -  Together all children unite

(Rap section)   Support and love via education

To support every child is now our mission

Our books are now used as a weapon

Every child in the home has a big vision

(Chorus)          S… A…. L…. V…. E…., Education sets our futures free, Support and love for who we want to be, Join hands every child in the community

(Verse 3)         After our education – We can climb any height

After our education – Our futures will be bright

After our education -  We will promote children’s rights

(Chorus) S… A…. L…. V…. E…., Education sets our futures free, Support and love for who we want to be, Join hands every child in the community

Join hands, join hands, join hands, join hands (clap)
