Ten (10) participants from OIC (Okinawa International Centre) were invited to attend the 50th anniversary party of the Rotary club here in Okinawa. The participants were Mathew (Samoa), Sashko (Macedonia), Patta (Kenya), Sahadatou (Niger in Africa), May (Tanzania), Rita (Uganda), Theus (Belize), Boitshoko (Botswana), Grace (Kenya) and of course me myself and I, Suzie all the way from Namibia.We considered ourselves as very priviledged that we could have attend this party with the Director of OIC accompanied by a very patient coordinator and surrounded by the VIP's of Okinawa and some other rotary club members in and around Japan.
We performed a mixed dance on a South African song. The harmony was marvelous for a group of eight people from different countries dancing on the same beat!! I think we did a great job. We enjoyed the feast and all of us received gifts. I got an umbrella, most of the others got towels, Rita got 24 tins of kohi (coffee), Sahadatou got a jewelery box and Theus received a cup set (guess he should take it home for his wife).
There are so much to say, but I think it's enough for now. I just want to make use of this opportunity to express my gratitude towards my team members who represented OIC with proud, to our companion, to our bus driver and to the Director of OIC for the wonderful opportunity that we could represent OIC. Arigato.....
It was such a wonderful night.. I totally agree with you Sue.
