Anders and Kuba had a school concert the other night and it was fantastic. Each class in the school wrote a song with singer songwriter Jon Gailmor and performed it for the entire community. Jon was a resident artist for nearly two full weeks. The kids loved it and their songs were simply amazing. The boys (and I) are still singing the catchy little tunes three days later. You'll have to search for my very blonde little boys in these photos. Kuba is behind a girl with a pink head scarf, and Anders is sort of in the center of his class. The beautiful sun in the background was made by students in the school as well. It was a stunning night. If you want to see Anders and Kuba singing in the concert click
here. This is a 10 minute video. Anders is in Ms. Radley's class(I think it is the second class,) and Kuba is in the pre-school. You'll get a wonderful look at the diversity and brilliance of the children in the boys school. There are over 27 languages spoken and children come from countries all over the world. My favorite song on this video clip is a song performed by the STEP class. This is a class of 16 newly arrived refugee children. The chorus of their song is
"Bhutanese, Congolese, Vietnamese too. Burmese, Somalian, we love to learn with you."
