Glorious Women of Faith

This group of women come together once a month or so. They meet out in the yard of the Abiola International School right behind our apartment. This meeting had the mics and speakers going and they have had some special speakers or preachers there this day. It's quite fun to listen and watch their doings.
Clapping, singing and dancing or walking around in a circle seems to be part of the celebration.
This is VERY typical African clothing. Four of these women have on a simple pullover top and a wrapper (skirt). The wrapper is just a piece of fabric. You can see the selvage edge (white strip) around the bottom of the wrapper. This is totally acceptable and normal. I really love all the colors and prints they wear.
