So much better than math.

My heart feels very full tonight. I went to a graduation party for Qadra, one of the girls that I have been tutoring in math through the last few months. Qadra is one of my favorites, and I am sad that we won't be exchanging jokes with her over a Geometry book anymore. I loved being with her family, and we danced the night away with her girlfriends and little sisters.

My friend Denise was along for the evening. She posted a beautiful description of the details on her website.

Here are a few cell phone-quality pictures to share with you:

A traditional Somali dance.

Onlookers clap and sing along.

Authentic Somalian cuisine. So good.
