Marching for the Donation

This picture is from a small ceremony that was held on Tuesday after school. The students and staff had a ceremony to honor fundraisers from Alaska (chiefly Tom and Ruth Nighswander) who had raised the money necessary to start the MCV Vocational School. The school choir wrote their own songs, and sang a song "Marching for the Donation" to thank the Alaskans. They also learned and sang the Alaskan state song. The kids sound amazing, especially since they have had no formal training. Sibale was also kind enough to publicly thank me for all the money I raised (which is really a recognition of the generosity of all of you). He pointed out that I raised well over one million Kwacha! I like the sound of that!
