Segal Family Foundation

We were at a conference for 3 days last week. It was very fun, even though my sister and I just sat around and did homework and that kind of thing. But the reason it was fun was because every night they would have some kind of party, for example they a had cocktail party, an awards ceremony for some of the best donating organizations, and on the last night there was a concert. The concert was definitely the best of all. So we got on a bus and they started to drive us to the concert, on the way there they gave us bracelets to show the workers there. The bracelet meant that we didn't have to pay for the food and drinks. On the bus they were also telling us when the buses would leave, "the first bus will leave after the first act, the second bus will leave after the second act, the third bus will leave after the third act..........." and so on and so forth. Then after she said that the fifth bus will leave after the fifth act, she said, "the final bus will be leaving at 3am". I was like WHAT!!!

     We finally arrived at the concert and it turned out that it was a night club! There were bands playing and people drinking and dancing! It was crazy! When we walked though security(yes there was security)the bouncers letting us in hesitated while letting us in, we were too young to go in since it was a bar. Well, even though we were too young they let us in anyway. When we got up into the spot that the Segal Family Foundation was suppose to stay in, we got our drinks and found a place to sit down. After about an hour of bands playing and drunk people dancing, someone came up to us and said, "the children are too young ma'am, I'm afraid they will have to leave". We said okay, but stayed anyway. On our way to get food somebody else came up to us and asked us to leave again. We said okay, but we still didn't leave. Finally when we were sitting back down to eat our dinner, three people came up to us and told us to leave. We said okay again, but didn't move and waited for the men to go away. But they didn't. They told us to come with them, and this time we did. They got ahold of us and pulled us along with them and didn't let go of us until we were outside of the bar!

     The first act wasn't done yet, so we had to stay outside until the bus came. It wasn't bad though, considering that the bouncers hadn't taken our dinner, it wasn't cold outside, and we could still hear the music from inside. Then when the bus got there we hopped on and drove back to the hotel.

     Earlier that day we visited two organizations that my moms job supports, they were called, The Action Foundation and the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy, both of those places were very cool, but to me they weren't AS cool as the night club!
