Our girls

The 3 younger girls wearing dresses Alea gave them.

An African Tea Party!  Alea had this all planned out for months before we came!  She brought along a glittery pink tablecloth, fancy napkins and doilies.  We served real tea (chai), red Fanta (for pretty bubbles), mendazes (like a triangle donut) with the mango jam we made, cinnamon tortilla chips that Christopher made (that's his business), mangos and passion fruit that were gifted to us, and granola bars (from home) cut into little bit-size pieces (they'd never eaten granola bars before!  Everyone had a lovely time!

Our 3 R's!
"Giving a push" to Rashida, Robinah & Rosemary after our tea party and gift giving (means walking them part way home; seeing them off)

Alea had brought along yarn from home and taught them how to finger-weave these headbands and bracelets.  They were excited to learn a new skill and make something pretty for themselves!
