Dance party! East African dance party, to be exact. This week in class we chant “Keenene,” a Ugandan song and story that empowers us and our little kids to demand to eat raspberries. The song appears in W. Moses Serwadda’s collection, “Songs and Stories from Uganda” embedded in a tale about how some village children accepted help from an unfamiliar animal named Baluba and he ultimately provided a feast for them, including a voluminous amount of raspberries, which they shared with their neighbors. The Ugandan song in this video has nothing to do with Beluba…but doesn’t it make you want to dance?
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
