It turned out to be a very interesting morning with speeches in English and Swahili and afterwards I took photos of Marita handing over the prizes.
Before the prize giving several students gave a poem rendition of the school's history and it's many needs !

Africans love photos and we posed for absolutely ages!

What a great experience and a wonderful slice of life in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteYou both look lovely and what an honour!
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting to see that even poor African schools can still have pomp and ceremony. Good on Marita and you for doing this for the school.
ReplyDeleteYou ladies are getting quite a reputation for helping out.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely heart-warming shots.
ReplyDeleteYou ladies look lovely and I'm sure both of you being at the school for their ceremony meant the world to them. It makes things more exciting too for the staff and children. God bless you Jo.
ReplyDeleteThe ceremony must be fun for the children. It is wonderful of Marita and you to help the schools. Love the photos, have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteIt is so important for children to partake of these ceremonies. It is important for all of us to mark the milestones of our lives.
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful woman to involve yourself with so many around you.
That must have been very nice and interesting ! At least something is done for these poor kids.
