Tonight we celebrated the opening of the new school where I teach, under the African stars. Children danced, mommies clapped and cheered, the principal made a speech and the founders of the school lit a torch. The choir sang and we sang. It was wonderful to be a part of it. Not many people have the privilege of being a part of the birth of something that represents the fulfilment of a vision like this - of making a place where the community will grow and learn and create new opportunities for the future. The sights and sounds, lights and colours reminded me of one of my (and many others') old favourite paintings - alive with colour and energy. An oldie, but a goodie!
