Extra Extra Read All About It! ( North Maragoli That Is!)

Good Afternoon Everyone! It's Blake and Gillian here, blogging for Mama Louise. She is Sitting here resting and enjoying a lovely cup of Chai as she had a very busy morning. This morning was spent purchasing chickens and a rooster for George's Chicken coop and are very excited to try his eggs. Mama Louise also spent the morning doing her laundry which given the sheer amount of rain that we get every day here should probably be brought inside soon! it seems to be just our luck that we always get caught in the rain on either Market or Laundry days (today happens to be both!) We are currently baking a cake as it is our last night with Daniel and Teddy before they head back to Canada this weekend - so we thought we would try to make a somewhat festive dinner. We are also having Rose make her excellent Chipati as it is really the only local cuisine that the boys have taken a liking to. They have made some wonderful little friends at the school and are currently there working and playing with all the children. Yesterday we went to visit a very special little baby, her name is Esther, at an orphanage quite far away from Kiritu it was a long journey by Matatu and Piki Piki, Mama Louise is hoping that she will be able to bring the baby back to her home in North Maragoli in the near future. Our dog Georgia (locally known as Simba) - I (Blake) am training her good manners which is tricky given her surprising intelligence which she uses to get herself into some mischief. As for the Yoghurt Kitchen, we are still waiting on electricity to be hooked up - which SHOULD be by the end of he week. We are very optimistic about this and once it is in we will be able to start training the Women's group in yoghurt production & Business skills, as well as Maggie and Lavender in the Lab work. All our equipment for the lab and kitchen has been purchased and we are ready to go as soon as the power is switched on! We have a lot to do in these final weeks in North Maragoli! Mme. B also said to greet all her little friends from Jean Sauve. Thanks for taking the time to read the blog! -Blake & Gillian
