Leanne's Dance Skills

We have another video to post (guess we really got into the video thing)... the catch-up school for 2Five2 is in full swing now, but this video is taken in the first couple of days when we just started.  The little First Graders are learning a fun Khmer song that is similar to our American version of "Singing in the Rain" (you know...I'm singing in the rain, with my knees together, butt out, head up, tongue out...singing in the rain).  Now the kids love the song, and sing and participate in all the motions every morning and afternoon. 

Kids in this community before coming to school were usually at home working, they helped cook, clean, watch other children, or for the older ones worked selling goods or fishing.  Songs like these are the first time they have just played and enjoyed singing and dancing like all children deserve to do.  I love watching them sing this song together.



Now that is is Advent season and we are celebrating Christmas, the kids are preparing songs, and coloring pictures of the story of Jesus' birth to be ready for our "Christmas Program" on the 23rd.  Please be praying for these children during this special Christmas season, as this is the first time they have ever heard the story of Jesus' birth and what that means for their life!
