My first run as an event planner, part 2

The band....I brought in this marimba band (marimba originates from Zimbabwe) and they were awesome. The music they play is this wonderful beat that really makes you want to dance!
The presentation....This is Peter Blinston and Jealous Mpofu giving a presentation to our guests about the Painted Dog and their work opn its behalf in Zimbabwe. Peter is the Director of the program and Jealous is the lead tracker and a local. He talked about his life and how much it has changed and grown since coming to work with PDC. It was really moving. This was his first time to the United States and he was overwhelmed, especially in our stores. He just kept saying, "It is all so much."
