The harana (courting) begins!
SloaneDavidson:
All my boys (development staff from the ASHI-KIVA branch office) came. They had practiced a series of songs to sing. It was so amazing.
SloaneDavidson:
More singing. They are so damn sweet.
SloaneDavidson:
Having fun with it. I'm sitting about 5 feet from them with my hand over my mouth, like I can't believe this is happening right now. Ask about dating enough, I guess they had to show me how it was done. In the traditional courting sense of the word.
SloaneDavidson:
During harana you're given flowers. One to put in your hair. So this is me being a Filipina.

Two dutch girls were also in the village that night on a high school volunteer retreat

This little sweetie wouldn't leave my side but she wouldn't smile either. She was so funny. All her sisters kept trying to make her laugh, but she wasn't going to break, nope! Not her!
