Independence day – 25 June

Mozambique celebrated its Independence from Portugal today! We had regular church and then everyone rushed to the dining hall/kitchen for lunch.

CHICKEN!

Georgian Banov was here, a fantastic musician from Bulgaria, so we carried all the sound stuff up there and set up the band in the dining hall. It was a blast, the drums, the guitars and the djembes. We had kids dancing in front with their coke bottles.

The Mission School students served everyone, and when I say everyone I mean everyone – Sunday lunch is open the whole community – and there were loads of people, but everyone got food – lots of food!

It was a fun day – I was thinking that if I had a camcorder then the band playing in the hall would have made the most interesting music video!
