Yesterday, the very first
'Traditional Dance Festival for children' took place in Kosti. Children from eleven surrounding communities had the chance to proudly present their traditional tribal songs and dances. And they did! I found it amazing to see that these different communities all had very different moves, clothes, accessories, hair styles and songs. This variety find its cause in the fact that many people from different parts of the country had to flee from war to find a safer place to live. Therefore, many of the people living in this region, are originally from other parts of the country. This great diversity clearly came together in the very special event last night. The audience counted over 1500 people, who had all been very eager to be part of this first time happening in Kosti. Frank and his team had been busy with the organization for many
weeks, and it was obvious that it had definitely been worth it. After the members of the jury had announced the winner of the night, there was only one thing left to do for everyone:
dance, dance, dance!
