A handful of Somali students demonstrated traditional dances and shared their culture Thursday as a way to say thanks to faculty and staff at Technical High School. It was a time for laughter, praise and questions; a time to share, to better understand differences, to bring the communities closer together. Audience members marveled at the elaborate and brightly colored dresses the girls showed off during the dances and fashion show. A skit demonstrated what education in Somalia is like, where teachers use physical discipline if a student does not turn in homework. And the students praised the American education system and their experience here. "They have supported us," said Amal Hassan, a Tech senior. About 44 Somali students put on the event with help from Somali adults, teachers and community organizers, she said.
