Today Pauline and I went shopping for items for the Nice View Academy staff & sponsored kids Christmas party to be held this Saturday.
First stop was purchasing bulk items like flour (for chapatti), oil (again for cooking chapatti), milk (for tea) and sugar (50kgs!)

Next stop was the coke store where we ordered the soda to be delivered on Saturday:
Then we stopped at our only real grocery store for paper plates, spoons etc., unfortunately they didn’t have enough (no Party City store here) so it was off to Nice View to deliver the items and check to see if they had any plates, cups and spoons:
Richard and Wambua unload the food
Success on the plates, cups and spoons (ok these aren’t the spoons being used to eat with but to cook with). Sorry I forgot to get a picture of the spoons but I think everyone knows what a spoon looks like, right?!
Checking out what we have available - from left: Pauline, Wambua, Christopher, Sarah and Richard

Then Friday will be market day to purchase items such as tomatoes, cabbage etc.
The gifts are wrapped (thank you again North Point Ministries in Midland, MI for raising funds to purchase the short sets) and the “chicken guy” will have all the chickens slaughtered and ready for Ann & Sarah to cook.
Now to fine tune the schedule…but hey it’s Kenya so let’s just say “it will work!”
