Somedays, you notice all the differences.  And then there are days like yesterday where you see your similarities.  Yesterday was graduation day at Breidjing Usman School.  About 500-1,000 people gather around the square, students sitting with parents and grandparents standing behind them.  A speech was given about the importance of education and a nod to the students for their hard work.  Then the kids’ names were read and they came forward to get their diplomas on a slip of paper.  It was pretty exciting to hear some of the grandmothers cheering when their grandchild’s name was called.  Here’s a couple pictures from the event:
