Liana at Bulawayo Theater
Went with nearly 100 children from the Center to see a performance by the King George VI (KGVI) band, Liyana. Each member of this marimba band is a student at KGVI, a school for individuals with physical disabilities. The music and energy of this band is inspirational
I was first moved by Liana in November, during their rehearsal at KGVI

A record rainfall in Zimbabwe
The trees lined Bulawayo streets are full, lush, and green
Farms in the region have been adversely affected by the daily rain

remembering
Francess Ruvarashe Saunyama
the biggest welcoming smile
bringing people closer with bright eyes
holding onto hands and hearts, no matter age, color, religion
may her memory be for a blessing
