Tonight I saw/heard a wonderful man, Jacques *, from Burundi playing his traditional drum at a concert organised by the teenagers heading off to Kenya with Mission International in 2 weeks time.
It was awesome, he danced and played his drum while his drum was balanced on his head- it was fabulous, wonderful and truly awesome. What a wonderful man to share his talent with our kids and help them to raise £650 on the night.
They've all raised their own travel/accommodation costs (£1400 each) and all the rest that they raise is going to the project- installing a water tank in a remote part of the Maasai territory, so that the villagers will have easy access to clean water.
Jack acted as MC, bantered with the audience and played guitar/sang in the show and Jen helped to paint the elephants and the tree for the backdrop.
It was a great night and I'm proud of my kids - and in awe of the amazing Jacques
* still trying to track down his surname!
