Dancing the Night Away

We had a fundraising event last week called the "Maasai Mash" to raise money to furnish "our" school.  What fun we had!!  It is amazing how many people it takes to make an event like that happen.  There were a lot of moving parts!  A cake walk, spot dances, a short concert, a looney tooney draw and a concession and we raised money by charging a looney or a tooney to enter each one.  Each volunteer gave it his/her all -- it was a total team effort.

 The cakes for the cake walk were donated by members of the community.  They were beautiful and creative!

We planned and promoted for the previous 6 weeks and by the time the evening came everybody was pumped.  The icing on the cake (pun intended!) was that we were able to celebrate the ground breaking that had taken place in Tanzania just 2 days before.  A great cheer broke out when I made the announcement.

When all was said and done, we raised over $1000 to furnish the school and had a great time doing it.  A win-win for sure!
