A few weeks ago there was a meeting between Fr. Sebastian and all the volunteers. The volunteers wanted to do something fun for the boys. We all decided on doing a talent show every Friday evening for the next few weeks. It may not be consecutive weeks due to prior arrangements on Friday evenings but we'll eventually get all 5 competitions in. There are 8 teams in all represented by four colors: red, yellow, green, and blue. There are 4 junior (lower primary boys) and 4 senior (upper primary boys) teams. The points they receive will be towards their "group points". The children already have a competition based on school grades, athletic performance, character performance, and brownie points. The winning team at the end of the year (December) get rewarded with a trip to Moombasa. Moombasa is a coastal city in Kenya. The children get to go to the beach, have fun, and get out of school for a few days. They all put fun effort into the talent show. Each week is a different theme, the first week was African Traditional Song/dance. The volunteers decided to participate also and we did an opening dance for the night. We then are hosts/judges on the children's performances. It was a fun night.

Just got on the stage, the children were laughing at me.
This is the volunteer dance.
Another shot of our dance, it was maybe 3 minutes long.

Some of the boys doing a song/dance. The performances are on the stage in the cafeteria/assembly hall/multi purpose room.
I believe this is the, Blue Senior group, winning performance.
