WE WERE INVITED TO JOIN THE SOUTHAFRICAS WHO WORK IN OUR OFFICE AS THEY CELEBRATED HERRITAGE DAY AT A LUNCHEON HELD IN THE AREA OFFICE. 

IT WAS A VERY HAPPY DAY! MANY OF THE EMPLOYEES CAME DRESSED IN THE TRADITIONAL CLOTHING OF THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY

I love this beautiful face painting

THE COLORS WERE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

SMILES ALL AROUND

This is Flora, she cleans our office. Flora always greets me with a warm smile. She told me her mother made this beautiful outfit

Dominic was one of the few men who dressed for the occasion. He always has a big, beautiful smile.



THEN WE WENT TO ORANGE FARM AND THE WOMEN AT CHURCH WERE DRESSED IN BEAUTIFUL, COLORFUL CLOTHING AS WELL

WE STAYED AFTER CHURCH AND HAD A PHOTOGRAPH SESSION WITH ALL THESE LOVELY LADIES
