It was in this year T finally started to find the core members of the Southern Time Band in Toronto. After just a few rehearsals with the band’s pro musicians, they put on and performed at a fundraising concert at a church in Toronto at the end of June. Unfortunately, they did not raise enough funds to bring the whole band to Amsterdam for the conference, but T did rejoin his Ugandan friends, performing with three of them for his performance and at the opening ceremony of the conferences’ Global Village portion.
