The testing team
- The crowd
Planning my biggest project yet, the Journée de Sensibilisation pour la lutte contre le SIDA in Kanel, a concert featuring 15 local musical acts, two theatre troups, and free testing and free entrance, evoked in me many things, all set to the tune of that oh-so-appropriate Queen song. Somehow, I made it through and the concert went off without a hitch. This was due, I think, less to my stellar planning skills (mostly because I don’t have them), but more to the great talent here in the Fuuta and the enthusiasm of the people around me. Some stats to recap the event:
Number of months of planning: 8
Number of hours of music played: 5
Number of concert-goers: about 600
Number of people tested: 107 (woo hoo!)
Number of musicians: 30-ish?
Number of actors: 7
Number of times I almost cried: 3
Number of times I almost screamed at someone: I’m going to be conservative, and say 5
Number of hours of sleep I had the night of the show: 2
Number of congratulations since: lots and lots! Thank you all!
Also for your viewing pleasure, a few photos.
Enjoy!
