A Glimpse of Day Three
Jun 19th, 2009 by kelley johnson
Here are some snapshots from our third day in Bujumbura with the Batwa…
More blessings with our Batwa friends.
Teaching friends how to take some pictures… always fun!
We played together in Lake Tanganyika.
And we played some volleyball together.
We arrived to the Student House and the reunion began!
The students created a receiving line, so we all greeted one another as we entered their home.
Look at that embrace… it says it all!
There was such an eagerness to connect… no holding back.
There was an open house, so we could see where the students live day in out.
The students welcomed us with a traditional dance.
We presented a house warming gift of three flags… and the students clapped wildly!
The whole gang.
New friends…
Finally together with her prayed-for student.
Another pair of friends.
Already donning the new gift… a tie!
Between her two student friends, and loving it!
The surprise of the night… bubbles! A first for most of the students.
The highlight of the day was our time at the Student House. We were greeted with a full receiving line so that each of us met every student. They said ‘Amahoro’ as they shook hands and introduced themselves by name. We were given a tour of the home, and were tickled to see Johnie’s picture photocopied and on all the beds in the girls rooms! I think they have a crush on him! We were treated with song and dance once again. Books were presented to the students by Robert Thomas and then Teri Longnecker presented the flags as housewarming gifts. Derek presented the Batwa Committee members with COF shirts and cds. But what we were all really waiting for was time with our student-friend. So finally, after the group photo, everyone paired off with their friend. They took photos together and exchanged gifts. But then there was time just to talk, laugh and share in a way that went beyond words.
