Naming Ceremony

Greeting the chief in Tarsor before the naming ceremony. Time is 9:00 am. Ceremony set to begin about 9:15. So we walk to the school






So far no one has arrived. But it's only 10:00, people must be running behind...no biggy

Jordan takes a little nap to rest up since of course the communities will be showing up any minute...








We wait a little more...11:00am

Sarah tries to coax the people to come by showing off her drumming skills

Our first guests to arrive...












Our first human guests to arrive...












Our first human guests to leave to Tumu...

Finally the community starts to show up. A woman gives an excited 'whistle' that is basically a loud high pitch shrill scream

We start things off with a little dance that somehow looks like the opening to our thriller dance..

The chief representative from Kulfuo







I give my presentation to the joined communities about our mission and our goals for the community.

Sarah talks about her thoughts for changing the education mindset for the village and how we can all pitch in.

After our presentation, we get our gifts...freakin' awesome smocks!





I can't wait to wear this in the states...in the winter of course. In the summer I'll pass out of heat
