Happy Birthday, Judy!


So, Judy celebrated her birthday on Tuesday, the 14th....we had a day of work, and unbeknownst to her, I was able to secretly arrange a surprise with the women. They ended our day with an amazing singing and dancing time, in Judy's honor. Here is Tausi and Rehema, who always end up being the leaders when the dancing starts. It is contagious! This is one of my favorite things about being here...the way the women celebrate with singing and dancing as a group. If I was more technically apt, I could send a little video snippet and you could hear the drumbeats also. Basically once the women started singing, 4 little boys ran to get the drums and sat down to back them up with the beat. It was so amazing, and Judy was very honored. We ended the evening with the 3 of us at a restaurant, sharing a piece of chocolate cake. Happy Birthday, Judy!
