Thanks to our friend T in Golden, Jrock and I got to go out last Thursday evening to the Harambe Camp in Naramata. 

Harambe is a swahili word meaning “Coming Together As One”… this camp is for Canadian families with black children adopted from Haiti, the USA and Ethiopia.   It really reminded me of the French family cultural camp we used to attend when I was a pre-teen.. but instead of canoeing and making crafts in French… the kids at this camp got to go to hip hop and African dancing lessons. We arrived on the last day, and it was obvious all the kids and adults had a blast.

Also thanks to T, we got to meet three other couples about our age from Kelowna… one with a darling little Ethiopian girl, and two couples with biological blond-haired daughters and cutey girls from Michigan and Florida, respectively.  Amazingly, one of the couples is building a house just down the street from us! 

J said the best part of the evening, aside from the wonderful entertainment, was seeing the kids, (because he said got an idea of what his kids might look like!)  I’ve included some pictures but blurred them since I didn’t get any parental consent to put kids’ pics on the net.  Notice Jrock bright and clear in the background!
