HAPPY BELATED CANADA DAY!

What better way to celebrate the independence of our beautiful nation than with a bunch of crazy college students from Canada at a goodbye party for Sophie. We walked into the compound of CIDA's senior analyst in Tanzania thinking that we were going to a Canada Day celebration, but boy were we wrong. The 12 of us were the only ones dressed up in any form of Canadian-themed attire, complete with flag capes and tattoos on our foreheads. Rather than a "Canada Day get together" as it was described, it turned out to be a going away party for a very lovely family.
Before the party, J & J and I stopped by L's open mic, where he performed an act based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech. We were also pleasantly surprised to watch performances by Tanzania's up and coming rap and hip-hop artists. Almost better than watching the performers was watching the audience. The kids knew some of the songs and I was so happy to see some of them get so into it. Especially Mama B, who was dancing and fist pumping like nobody's business!
