South-Africa 2009-2
Yeah got my pictures uploaded!!!
Check South-Africa 2009!
So today is Wednesday, all went different in South-African style!
We didn’t perform on Monday with the kids, it was held in a different place the show was to dancy and not good enough for what it supposed to be. The kids were great (don’t get me wrong), but we just didn’t have enough time to make it super great, all the bigger kids are just toooo busy with schoolwork.
So this was a huge disappointment for Boukje and I and more so 4 the kidz. But what happened, we went to talk to the organisers, they wanted us (Boukje and I) to perform and so we did. People loved it and now we have to perform at the “Rittelfees” the biggest festival at the region. Our idea is to get 8 kids to perform with us a percussion part and Boukje and I will take over with didgeridoo and poi’s. Sooooo this hopefully will happen next Wednesday, we will have to work hard to get it super tight. Also we have organised an evening filling program on Friday next week. All the other kids will make their shows in their community hall!!! Tickets will be sold for the parents and friends, very exciting all. Today we worked hard in the morning to get all the instruments ready; we also made some poi’s with tennis ball. We are hoping we will find some kids with talents in the juggling department. In the afternoon we made some more auditions and selected another 11 kids, hopefully they will all come everyday! It is also getting really hot weather wise and they have to walk about 20 minutes from where they stay to our little church building, okay we’ll see…
On Sunday we went to the mountain by the way, it was amazingly beautiful again, the ‘Gifberg’ (poison Mountain) is part of the ....Ceder.. ..Mountains.... and stunning. Hopefully this time it will work to upload the pictures so you can see. Most of the kids have never been up the mountain they see all the time, most of them never been out of Klawer. Maybe one day we can take them and show them the mountain or the beach, which is also just about an hour away from here. We saw the ocean from the top of the Gifberg.
Well have to go to get some sleep; it is already ..10pm.. ;-)
My close friends know I don’t go to bed before ..2am.. normally in ....Holland...., but here I got a different rhythm!
Sending lots of from Klawer South-Africa,
