<font face=verdana size=1 color="#F3F3F3">This was the first time she had seen any of the children actually playing, or even moving around. After about an hour Betty gathered all the balls and headed back to the tent. The next day, the children asked about the balls. Betty told them that after they had eaten all their food, they could play. Eating all the food allotted was important for each undernourished child. But, many of them would not eat their food because it was so different from the food they were used to, and these children were not getting stronger. However, because they were now able to play with the balls and with the other children, their food was soon finished, and more and more children became strong enough to come to play.
After a few days Betty introduced the children to Emil, the delegate responsible for the food tents. Emil had found some rope and short boards; he was using these supplies to hang a couple swings in trees. A small group of children stood and watched every move Emil made as he put up the swings. Soon more and more children came to watch. When Emil had constructed the swings, he beckoned the children to come closer. No one moved. Then he saw Amina. He lifted her onto the swing and gently pushed. Amina held on for dear life, with a look of terror on her face. As the swing glided back and forth, she realized she was not going to fall and she relaxed. Soon the children were crowding around, taking turns swinging and pushing each other. Even frail Salma allowed Amina to help her into the swing and gently push her.
Other delegates nodded in agreement. And the planning began. Delegates decided to sew the bu-bus from some material they had in storage, and to hold the celebration in one of the larger tents. Next the children had to be chosen to be in the dance. Each volunteer selected one child; Amina and Salma were among them.
When all the dancers had been selected, Betty gathered them together and said, "We only have a week to get ready for the celebration. We want you to practice the songs and dances you used to perform before the famine came."
Even with the help of interpreters, the children were confused. There were so many tribes, so many songs, so many dances. And it had been so long ago that
any of them had heard a song. The children stood there, not making a move. Betty got one of the local volunteers to start dancing and signing. Waving her arms, the children were invited to join in. First a few of the older children started to dance, then a few more and a few more, until everyone had the idea.
That evening Betty found a big roll of fabric, and a team formed to make the bu-bus. The women rounded up as many sewing machines as they could find, and sewed the rest by hand. One by one the children's measurements were taken. They were brought back in to try on the partially sewn bu-bus for size. Sometimes it was hard to get a child to try on the gown because they were too busy swinging or playing ball.
