Gladi Gladi

When a woman goes home after her fistula surgery, she has usually been at the clinic for three weeks. The Gladi Gladi is like a going away event for the women before they go home. On Wednesday mornings, all of the women who are slated to go home over the next week are given a brand new nice dress, and a pair of shoes and a necklace. The women are prayed for, then they lead the group in singing as they dance around the entire courtyard together, singing with a drum. It is a great way to send off the women into their new life back at home.
