Play For Hope

I want to take sometime to share with you stories that I was not able to write while in Rwanda due to time constraints.  The first post is about our coaches experience while in Burundi.  One of the amazing things that happened was a joy came over the entire group that was palpable to everyone who came in contact with us.  Days were spent working with children helping them to have a fun (and loud!) experience learning about sports.  In between the sports clinics we traveled in a packed van with constant singing, drumming, and shouting. At nights the coaches busted into spontaneous dance parties filled with joy and expressing the passion for what they were doing.  I have included pictures and video below:

Many of the coaches taking turns.

And of course a video of a spontaneous performance at the Palau Association's prayer meeting:
