Celebration at Katungu

The team experienced the rare privilege of a Zambian celebration today. The occasion was the unveiling of the plaque for Katungu Christian Community School. We were also presenting a large supply of textbooks and other school materials for their use. Several of the local headmen were present to lend their dignity to the occasion, but the highlight for us was with the women. As the ceremony proceeded they began with ululation, soon followed by outbursts of song and then dancing. The school staff joined in, and even some members of our team got involved in the celebration. I tell you, it was an event that filled many eyes and constricted many throats. What a delight it was for us to be part of it!
