My heart melts when i see the children embrace the different cultural background.The American folk dance currently being practiced in MCC is one such great example of the world being a global village.One will stop to ask ,what more would one need if a person can travel many miles to come to MCC and teach about their culture.That according to me is the height of saying that there should be universality in life irrespective of boundary,culture or station in life.
This was demonstrated very well with a high school student Axi,she let her culture be understood for her to understand others.Is this not what St.Paul says from known to unknown?
Boys and girls are dancing to the American folk dance as if it was their own.The UN should be able to find much reasoning in this act as they strive to bring human beings together.

Patrick,

Good to see those pictures, especially the Library. I hope the Children have enough books. Let me know (Ehlspurs@aol.com...or you can email Wayne) if there are any more books we can get you to please let me know.

Maybe this would be a message to be delivered at the UN. Maybe as we work together we can help to bring this dream a reality in at least one part of the world. Be assured of our continued support.

The pictures are wonderful and I am grateful for you adding them. We have been keeping the children in our thoughts a lot as they are at competition. We are anxious to hear the results.
