Fair trade fashion show

Today, was the Fair Trade evening fashion show at St Benedict's. 
We had all kinds of stalls which sold many things close to the heart of Tanzania, some of the items which we had for sale were the; traditional Tanzanian Kanga's, all kinds of African jewellery then a wide selection of Fair Trade food such as fruit jams. 

Once everyone had arrived, we begun the evening with a 'modelling show', where everyone who was participating had to choose an item of clothing, put it on, then show it to our audience. It was a great idea, as it helped the articles of clothing sell- to raise more money for the link.

Because it was such a lovely night, we couldn't do as much singing and dancing as we initially planned, but after the interval we all gathered together and gave our best efforts to show the audience the Traditional dances and songs of Tanzania- (many of which, joined in!)
Some of the dances we did were; 'Timoti Sosi' and 'Maria'.

Overall it was a great evening, which I really enjoyed- along with the rest of the group.

Abi :)
