1st Birthday Party

The other day we threw a birthday party for 4 of the babies' 1st birthday!
Another volunteer and I made the cake and icing completely from scratch. We were so proud of ourselves! We even had to sift the flour and mix the powdered milk.
After giving every child a small piece, we just let the toddlers have at the cake. They made such a mess, but they were so excited the whole time! We even had fun cleaning up. :)

Wow! Nice job on the cake for the little tykes! I'm sure they were enthralled. Putting a cake together there is a challenge a best. My wife made me a birthday cake in Bolivia and had to use a tea strainer to sift the flour to get the worms out! Beautiful memories you are making! I'll be following your updates with interest. I never got to Arusha, but wanted to. And to see the Crater is really a treat. We visited the Senegetti a few times in our four years in Kenya. You will enjoy the people and especially the wildlife.
God bless. Dave Hardwick
