So, yesterday when Alexis told us that the EAC children would be performing for us as a welcome, we never imagined that we would be honored with a reception suitable for kings and presidents! We could not believe our eyes and ears when the gates of the training center opened and we saw the children dressed in traditional African costumes, dancing and playing the drums! The girls danced up to us and we danced (ok, attempted to dance) along with them to our seats. I can't imagine a more beautiful or touching welcome!The welcome by the Spirit of Uganda performers (Spirit of Uganda is the performing part of Empower African Children) completely stunned us with its colorful magnificence. We were all humbled that the children would honor us in this way. The children performed several traditional African dances, sang songs and played the drums. It was awesome!! The Spirit of Uganda will be touring again in 2012 and we are looking forward to hosting them at Ursuline so that everyone in our community can have the joyful experience of seeing them perform.
¡Hola Sra. Escamilla! Nos hemos leyendo este blog y parece que todos se divierten. Esperamos que usted esté teniendo un bueno tiempo por el resto del viaje en África. ¡Nos vemos cuando vuelva a clase!
