Earlier today we received many photographs and a couple of short stories from Rose of Sharon, one of which we re-print below as written together with three photos.
A FRIDAY AT ROSEY’S SHILOH UNIT CHILDREN
Starting out as a normal schooling day, children of Rose of Sharon School better known as Rosey by local residents were learning as usual but not until break time was over when the silence was broken by the melodious singing of the school choir and the dance group.
These two groups were rehearsing a presentation for visitors who were expected at Rose of Sharon Shiloh Unit.
By the way, Shiloh Unit is a childrens’ home for vulnerable and orphaned children under Rose of Sharon Organisation founded by Mrs F.Maruta. As energetic as the rehearsals were, these were all efforts of the Principal, and the school choir conductor Mrs Ndunduma who were working relentlessly aiming for perfection. Other students were peeping through windows as wanted to watch their peers rehearse for it had been very unfortunate that the principal had forbidden them to go outside. Mrs Maruta on the other side was busy putting things in order in preparation of a much more bigger event. As the visitors came in, they were greeted with an enthusiastic presentation from the dance group and choir. You could feel the expression, the spirit, I can not even explain but it was awesome. It was what I call a rejuvenating experience, that even neighbors saw what Rose of Sharon can do best as they were watching from their Durawalls. I heard one visitor calling the presentation International because of the awesome performance. Besides the presentation, we had time to interact with guys from local media and of the Internal Auditors. It was quite an experience and I salute the dance group and choir for giving such a fantastic presentation.
