Fungi, Funghi or Fanga

However you spell it. It's FUN.
We start all of our children's programs with Fungi. Fungi is a traditional welcome song in the African language Yoruba. Loosely translated the words mean:

Fungi Alafia - Hello or welcome. Be at peace. 
Ashe - So be it. Let it be so. 

The song was sung in villages to welcome visitors and at the library we continue to do the same. 

The actions mean:

Arms over head making a peaked roof - You are welcome in this (my) place.

Arms wrapped around oneself like a hug - I welcome you with my heart and I am happy to see you. 

Arms spread wide - There is nothing here to trick or hurt you.
