Today I helped make chapatti (sp?) with the moms! Chapatti is a flour dough that you roll out in circles like a pie crust then you fry it on the stovetop. Then you re-fry them, but this time putting oil on both sides. It is delicious! It’s a lot of work for the moms, but they say it’s their favorite and it’s all of the girls’ favorite too! I guess it’s worth it, even though it takes half the day to prepare! Next week I’ll learn more about how to make the dough so that I can make it at home!
All but one of the other volunteers (besides me and Lindsey of course) left today for a safari. They’ll be back tomorrow night. It’s very quiet without them here…
Gladys (the exec director while Kate is gone) left today too, but she’ll be back on Saturday. She’s just taking a mini-break. She asked me and Lindsey and Sarah (the other volunteer who stayed behind from the safari) to eat with the Tumaini girls because since she’ll be gone they won’t have a mum in the house. At dinner they talked a lot about Chris Brown and Rihanna…they’ve been talking about them since we got here…
Hmm…today wasn’t really very eventful…I’ll have more to say this weekend.
