Angolan Independence Dinner 2012

We celebrated Angolan Independence day here in Malongo by producing another themed dinner but this time we brought in a team of Cabindan dancers and musicians!

They had a great impact on the evening and once again a great night was had by all!

AFCON Shirt Winners!

Earlier this year I ran a competition during the African Cup of Nations for each department in Malongo, with the winner of each getting a Football shirt as their prize!

Its taken a while to get the prizes but finally I was able to award them to the lucky winners! I was really pleased to see how happy they were to receive their shirts and I am sure they will beam with pride as they wear them!
