Choir Practice

 

Yesterday I invited any of the children who wanted to be part of a choir to come to our verandah at 14:00.  So, bringing benches from their houses, they arrived.  I introduced about 4 new songs. 

 

For any musicians out there, I introduced "African Noel" by Andre Thomas.  The children loved it, and I thought what a wonderful thing that here were African children actually singing it.  Of course they pick up things musically so quickly.  And you don't have to encourage them to sing, they just love to do it at any time. 

 

We are working on special music for the Christmas season.  Should be lots of fun.  Maybe we will even go "caroling" from house to house in Nyrienda Village.  At least we won't have to worry about it being freezing cold out, like in the states.  We will need to take bottles of water to keep ourselves cool!
