Sports Day

Friday was International Women's Day so the kids got school off. They organized a Sports Day which was basically a field day of various activities. I was really impressed with them. They organized the whole thing themselves and ran the events so well. The older residential kids all dressed in white and were the referees. Some of the post secondary students came to be judges. It was great to see everyone. The events included high jump, long jump, musical chairs, relay races, sprints, and balloon races. They gave out handmade certificates to the winners.Towards the end of the festivities there was an African Queen and Papa Swag contest. In the African Queen a girl from each team dressed up as the Queen and had an assistant who would throw glitter in front of her. One of the groups had Koi, a younger boy, in underwear with strips of fabric around him while "fanning" the Queen. I was dying, it was so funny. Papa Swag was two of the boys all dressed up and catwalking, then they danced. It was such a fun day.
