Celebration Day in Mbatwe

Toady was a significant day for the people who live in the community of Mbatwe, and for Care For Life. Mbatwe was the very first community that entered into the Family Preservation Program. Today was their closing celebration. Care For lIfe has been with them for over three years, and we are now leaving and moving to another community that needs our help more. Today was the day with speeches, dancing, awards for the families, literacy certificates, and a host of other good things.

We were nervous that it wasn't going to happen because it had been raining all night and all morning. We feel very blessed that we were able to carry on. Since it is midnite, and I am exhausted, I feel it best to wait until I can describe the day with some energy and do it justice.It was a great day!

Attached is a photo that I liked, and a video of a couple of older citizens boogying.
