Costume Party!

Sad that we were going to miss out on dressing up for Halloween this year, we decided we were going to have our own costume party at Palapye Baptist for the youth. We played games and danced to Vee (Botswana’s most popular music artist) and of course Michael Jackson! Having never been to (or even heard of) a costume party before, the youth did a great job coming up with creative outfits! Here are some of my favorites!

Gofaone as an angel.

Tsolofelo and Kefilwe as king and queen.

Pere as a pregnant Motswana lady and Cecilia as a power company worker.

Even my dog Lula got into the costume party spirit! She went as a Motswana in traditional clothing. She even carried her baby on her back like the women here.

Here Bebeto, who was too young to attend to the party, tries to get a peak at some of the costumes.

And of course, the Palapye girls impress as an 80s dancer, a punk rock star, and a pirate!
