Graduation 2013

The days leading up to October 25th were filled with events from rehearsals to cleaning to painting. The entire Angel Secondary was bustling with activities as the staff and student prepared for this special day. For the graduating class of 2013, there was much excitement and anticipation, for others, there was a twinge of sadness as the reality of these students graduating finally sets in. For the kids at Angel House Orphanage, there was much pride and joy as their big brother and father-figure, William Mwita, was graduating.

For several hours of the morning, it seemed like there was always someone running some where to get something done. A glance at the graduation area, and it looked like pure chaos. Every now and then, you would hear a voice over the sound system requesting someone to do something. The graduates though, were full of smiles, posing for the cameras time and time again, trying to grab a hold of every possible person for a photo op moment.

The celebration itself was filled with entertainment. Even though the students had probably seen most of the acts from the several days of rehearsals, it was so well done that they were laughing, clapping and cheering as if they've never seen that act before. They surely are a very talented group of students! After some encouraging words from the invited guests, it was time for the awards and leaving cerificates. Angel House had a very proud moment as William was named Best in Discipline. :)
