Swing Out Sister

So the talk about the books and materials had finished but there was some other items to mention. Mike our team leader produced a bag of footballs to everyones delight.
One lad jumped up from the grass to trap the first ball out out of the bag... with a quick flick of his foot it was in the air and on his head then on his shoulder then on his foot again...  if theres any BCFC talent scouts wanting a proper Zulu,  check him out he had awesome skill.

 After our top class display of football magic we stood while one of the sisters of the mission lead a prayer giving thanks and blessings...



followed by some inspirational singing.

 and some equally inspirational dancing.

 I think the lighties were amazed as me! A dancing Nun..how random is that! only ever seen on stag weekends or crazy weekenders... well thats what I thought.

 In our last part of our visit to Reichenau we were treated to more dancing from the pupils. One of the hi lights for me was watching a sweet old lady stomping around swinging what looked like a white table cloth around her head. Intermitently she swipped at the youngsters. I can only pressume it was some sort of tribal thing but whatever it was it was funky!

 I have to add that this wild woman was later tamed after I asked if It would be OK to take her potrait.

She was a fantastic character, one I wont forget in a hurry.

So it was time to say our good byes to the wonderfull people of Reichenau, before we did there was a handover of certificates pledging ongoing support for this unique school nestling in the foothills of the mountains.
