 Richard Northcott looks on

Then there was dancing.  Lots of shaking going on.

The ladies cooked all morning to make food for us.  They killed the ox in the  morning and fried it up on an open kitchen.  

Gifts for all the kids.  It was fun to watch them and they were so polite and gracious.  

The joy you feel does not get much better than this.  The joy comes from seeing these children blossom with confidence when they are given an opportunity to learn and grow.
We were grateful to be able to be a part of it.
