Special Moment

It's about 7.45 in the morning and Phil and I are stood on the red clay of the school yard facing a couple hundred children. They laugh and giggle as they look at us wondering what we have to say. The principal appears and simply says to them "sing!" Immediately they break into song and they are singing for us. As before, their timing and tuning is perfect. They clap their hands to the rhythm of the song and immerse themselves in the lyrics. As we stand watching and listening to them sing to the backdrop of the Belo mountains, I wonder how many people experience a moment like this in their lives.
