From Uganda Photo Album |
This is what you hear as you drive into a distribution site. Then comes the clapping, dancing and singing — including the very young, as you can see in the picture below. The song is often "We are happy to receive you. Welcome."
With such a great team that is so full of energy and love for the children, it is easy to become part of the Uganda customs. Joining in with the dance becomes a daily treat.
Two of our team members, Nancy and Sally Jo, have become true African-style dancers, taking pride in learning the dance moves. Nancy knows how to shake just right and Sally Jo adds the Canadian touch — much laughter accompanies their efforts.
Music and celebration is a very big part of Uganda. It is a great reward for our team to be part of the joy that a distribution brings to these villages.
