A Special Celebration

All the families stayed in the dining hall after supper for a special celebration tonight.

Today was one of our minimissionary's 70th birthday!

All the kids came up to look at the cakes.

The birthday girl just beamed and smiled and took it all in.

The little ones craned their necks to see what all the fuss was about.

Then we passed cake and ice cream to every child, momma and minimissionary.

The kids savoured their special treat.

Every bite was appreciated,

all the way to the youngest!

Happy 70th!

Party Time!

My few months supply of hygenic products that I brought from home is starting to run out and so I'm branching out into the available products.  I bought regular looking, Colgate, normal toothpaste.  Or so I thought.  In reality, it's bright green with white confetti flecks.  Party in a bottle!

In other party news, Kenya voted Yes! for it's new constitution on 4 August.  It went into effect yesterday, Friday, 27 August with a huge national celebration.  It was declared a national holiday and President Kibaki and others made speeches.  We didn't have school, but our resident kids took turns in the library watching their nation's history unfold on live TV.

Please don't tell any Kenyans you know that I put toothepaste and the new constitution in the same blog post.  Thanks.
