A Birthday Party

On Friday, my last day at VEG, Albert had organized cake and juice for everyone in celebration of Christianne's birthday ... (her birthday is today, Sunday!)

Around 4 pm everyone starting cleaning up and closing shop... Christianne was mystified but placated when she was told Shoko was giving a workshop upstairs...

Then Bernice asked her to come up and see the workshop and... 'Surprise!' 16 women's voice and on man shouted out happily! ... and burst into a lovely rendition of that oh! so familiar song 'Happy birthday, to you!...

You could see the affection these women and Albert (Kofi and Felix were writing a big exam at school and could not attend) have for Christianne. She has created not only jobs for these people but a whole possibility of bettering themselves and in an environment that is supportive as well as creative and fun.
