Below is a picture of my host brother (9 years) Tosi, who is preforming a stellar dance to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" for our Show-and-Tell. It was complete with the moon walk, the toe-stand thing and of course the infamous crotch-grab.



The Paran Ministry Refugee Church that I attend here spent almost a year writing, practicing and recording songs for producing a CD as an income generation project for the church. The adult choir (pictured above) sang all traditional Rwandian songs, while the children's choir sang several traditional songs, and several songs in English/Zulu that they had actually written themselves. The quality of these original songs by the children amazed me! The church had a big "CD launch" concert type thing in church one Sunday where they wore uniforms and performed some songs from the new CD. The service was just filled with so much energy, dancing - the utter joy they demostrated in praising the Lord is unmatched by anything else I have seen and is very contagious.
