The schools of Abuja were invited to contribute at this event, and we have the pleasure to inform you that a group of students of AISA performed a song in French (“La vie a deux” from Zaza Fournier) and a dance on a French song (“Elle me dit” from Mika) Thanks to my French class (Emmanuel Adewuiyu, Harit Krishan, Alfred Adenuga, Noor Hammoud, Molly Sullivan, Khairat Abdulrazzaq) for their full engagement and amazing participation!
