“Ssuuna was warm and engaging. The students and teachers really enjoyed the program. The program had wonderful messages and allowed the students to experience the beauty of a culture that they might not get to experience every day. They were fascinated by the music and instruments and it was a joy to see their faces smiling and laughing, and singing and dancing along. And what a voice! High, high marks for this program. It was a pleasure. Cultural Arts Rep., Evergreen Elementary Ssuuna' s program was outstanding because of his wonderful personality and presentation. Upon meeting Ssuuna, I immediately felt the warmth and sincerity that this beautful man would bring to our children. We thoroughly enjoyed his program and especially this wonderful man. The children loved his music and their participation in his program. Owner/Director, All Kids First Preschool Ssuana adapted to each audience and was highly engaging, funny, educational, and enjoyed by all.”

“We’d like to thank you & Ssuuna for a great performance today! He captivated our attention with the different sounds and instruments from Africa. Guidance Counselor, Indian Avenue School Thank you to Ssuuna, the Ugandan performer who kicked off International Day at Thursday's assembly: your message of inclusion and self-respect was wise and generous. You touched students and teachers alike. International Day Co-chairs, Somerville Elementary The kids couldn’t stop talking about the program afterward. They loved it and were so excited to go back to class and talk about it! Teacher, G.E. Wilson School We had a fantastic show with Ssuuna! He was a terrific performer for our audience of students with special needs. You were absolutely on target with the recommendation for Mercer Elementary School. It is always a juggle to find performers who can entertain and hold the attention of our students given their age ranges and learning styles.”
