Student Life at RVA 1--Multicultural Day

We work hard at RVA. We work, we study, we minister, but sometimes we celebrate and use our talents and skills. On Multicultural Day in October, we celebrate the diversity God has ordained, the many tribes and nations He has blessed. Tears flow freely on this day as we witness with pride our young people representing every continent worshipping the Lord as one. Here is just a taste of blessings we feasted on.

Early students gathered in national costumes for the great celebration.
The oldest students from each country carried their flags with pride.

Soon beaming young people and flags from each nation at RVA filled the stage at Centennial Chapel. Each age group performed skits and song. We sang, worshipped, and prayed together.

And then it was time for a break.

A change from national costumes to jeans and tee shirts.

We all enjoyed chai -- hot tea with lots of milk and sugar.

And mandazies -- a Kenyan pastry.

The students were divided into groups (Black eyes, Green thumbs, Blue noses, etc.) of every age and grade and competed in games.

A Korean stick game.

The winning team was announced...

But ultimately, we were all RVA Buffalos.
