International Ball and Sons of Lwala(Press)




Once in a year, we have all international students playing dress up and go to a ball in the nearest ( only) Inn .

Not too bad an experience at all, considering there is nice food and nice music to dance to. I start dancing from 10- 2:30 am. Totally exhausted.

The not so related to the ball pictures are from my International Writing Class. We got together to listen to our guests, the Ochieng Brothers from Kenya, who also attended our Professor's class about 7 or 8 years ago to speak about them building up a clinic in their rural hometown in Kenya from scratch. Their own experience is very related to our theme of the Course : From Suffering comes Love. Without suffering ( their parents died from AIDS), they will not be able to push themselves to do good for their community and bring Love and Healthcare to their own people.

Milton and Fred Ochieng both rewarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Social Justice Award and selected by the ABC news as the people of the week.

That same night, they also joined the dance party and danced the night off!
