Costello-Events > Before the nursery school's graduation ceremony a guardian prepared the yard by watering it down to prevent dust from rising. Of course, this process began around the time advertised for the ceremony to start, hence why we were seated (and would remain so for 3 hours), ready, and able to snap this shot.
Costello-Events > The calm before the storm...some of the graduates gathered on the steps of the school in their precious outfits.
Costello-Events > And the chaos began as more students and families arrived and then the dj started the music. Soon thereafter half of Yagoua's street children found their way there, curious to see the evening's events unfold.
Costello-Events > We were right there with you Joyce! Before the ceremony even began, our friend Danielle's newborn was already fatigued.
Costello-Events > Once the ceremony started we enjoyed countless skits and songs performed by the students...so cute!
Costello-Events > The crowd that gathered (and typically gathers at all events) to watch the festivities simply because there was nothing else to do.
Costello-Events > The chaotic finale: the teachers attempted to call the names of each child so the parents could come forward and present them with a gift. After about three kids the crowd became unmanageable and the whole ceremony broke up.
Costello-Events > Grace, Danielle's third daughter and our honoree.
Costello-Events > Due to the unruly crowd, we created our own presentation of Grace's gifts right in our seats.
