Chanukah Celebration

Last week I wrote about how great the Chanukah Celebration was, but I don't think I actually said what we did at the celebration. So today, I thought I'd let everyone know exactly what we did.

The party began with a performance by the Inner Light Gospel Choir, which was specially commissioned by the Forest Foundation to learn and perform several traditional Chanukah songs. After the choir performance, the guests were provided with a sit-down dinner completely prepared and provided by a team of our Fellows. During the meal, the guests were treated to a live Capouera performance, a Brazilian hybrid of dance and martial arts. The performance was definitely a hit in energizing the crowd. After the performance, the Foundation provided a karaoke machine for guests to show off their singing skills and party the rest of the evening away. In addition to all this, every child who came to the celebration received a Chanukah gift, courtesy of the Forest Foundation. There was also a room with several Fellows that hosted activities for the children throughout the night.
