My Last Night in Kiganza Village

On my last night in Kiganza Village, before returning to the U.S. to finish my studies, we bought an assortment of sodas from our neighbor Saidi and gave them to our friends who came to wish me a safe journey. Drew captured a video of the kids sitting on a bench enjoying their drinks.


We all sat around outside for a while after everyone had finished their drinks. The kids had such a sugar high going that they could barely contain their excitement. I was able to film a few other clips but this is the only one that I have on hand right now. The clip is kind of dark and it's hard to make out their faces, but they all crowded around and started counting for me and got a kick out of it when I played it back to them. Usually the sight of a camera instills fear but not when you have 20 ounces of soda running through your veins.
