A special day with Jack & Patroba

First they visited our apt the night before, where we gave them their gifts and enjoyed cold (not warm) Stoneys (ginger soda)....their & Joey's favorite.

The next morning we served them a nice breakfast before heading to visit their place in Kibera.

 

Their landlords' family at the gate to their compound...

 

 Jack has a small poultry business going on the side.  Of course Jonas was all over that!

                           Here is their apt that we pay rent for them both...

Then they took us on a walk to meet one of Jack's friends and business partner....

 A special treat, was getting to meet Patroba's father and see the house where Patroba was born & grew up.

Along the way, we passed Raila from a distance, and several of the kids recognized us and came running all the way up the embankment to come greet us!

 

                                                       Stanley, Samuel & Jane!!!

And then the highlight of the day....butchering the chicken they'd been saving for us!

                                           What a goofball!! Copying the chicken's faces....

 "I've got my eye on you!" (He told me to be sure and type that on the blog! LOL!

 Anissa's first time plucking a chicken.  Joey said his job for the butchering was to take pictures!

                                Chopping the vegetables to put with the chicken, rice & ugali.

 

At last.....the big dinner! They were so excited to host us, they declared July 1st a holiday! :) 

John, our driver from First Love, joined us as well as Samuel from Raila!  What a special memory indeed!
