I wish everyone could experience the morning devotion at Samoan schools. Most of you probably know that I am not a really religious person, but there is something extraordinary about the morning song and prayer that each school day is begun with. One student stands at the front of the class and leads the students in one of several songs. The boys and girls each have separate parts, and they all harmonize beautifully. Some days the kids sing quietly, but on others, the class puts spirit into it. Their beautiful voices regularly send shivers up my back.
(Some time in the near future I will find a way to post a video of this.)
