Rev’d Clive Southerton, Vice-Chair of the Umeed Partnership (UK),  has arrived in Lahore to prepare ten young people for parts in the musical ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ to be staged in Wales and Ireland in October 2010. Members of  Umeed across Pakistan will learn songs and dance routines, and will make costumes and props for this ambitious  production.

Yousuf Jalal Gill, the UP Co-ordinator,  believes that participation by young people of all faiths in a venture such as this leads to a greater understanding of other cultures and reconciliation where there is discord in poor communities.

Further details will be available shortly.
