The One With The Harvest Celebration (written 9/9/2012)


Once a year in Kafule there is a traditional harvest celebration.  Yesterday I got to go and watch.  There were probably 400 people who came out to celebrate with drumming and dancing.   There were two groups wearing traditional clothing that went back and forth in a kind of dance off for about two hours.  They had drums and horns and whistles and the rhythm of their stomping feet.  It was totally captivating to watch and the drumming was amazing! What a blessing to get to experience the celebration during my first week here!
