Upon first meeting the kids here, it quickly becomes apparent how intelligent and personable they are. It wasn't until Sunday, however, that I realized how artistically talented many of them are.
The kids finished their final exams for the term last Friday, but do not leave for their two month break until the following Friday. In the interim, one of the things they do is put together a talent show featuring singing, dancing, acting, painting, and other vehicles showcasing their considerable artistic abilities.
As the show began, I was not sure what to expect, but I was totally unprepared to be "wowed" the way I was. Throughout the show, there was this constant sense of pride, hope, and joy. The music was uplifting, the dancing mesmerizing, the acting touching, and whole experience almost overwhelming.
Several people mentioned that each show keeps getting better and better. If that's the case, those attending future performances are in for a real treat.
