Before he auditioned for the choir, Kimera was a boy living in an orphanage in Uganda. After he auditioned and became a part of the choir, Kimera saw the world, from Russia to England to the United States, and had all his education paid for. Today, Kimera is a 27-year-old man who is so proud of his experience with the choir that for the last two years he has served as a chaperone for…
