Martine, Jean-Luc and Baby JoieWe might not have made it to the beach, but we all enjoyed celebrating Jean – Luc´s birthday on Wednesday.
The orphanage was decked out in balloons and children and staff were given a sumptuous feast. Beyond the inevitable rice and beans, two kinds of salad (mango and beetroot), fried chicken, pasta and spicy buffalo balls are served too. This was washed down with soda, and we are all completely stuffed.
The kids love to dance and i am dragged repeatedly onto the dance floor by the children. Can´t think why they were in a fits of hilarity?
We had a new arrival in the morning, an orphan brought to us from the church, taking numbers up to 39. He is a lovely young boy and he settles in very quickly, clearly enjoying the company of the other children. Arriving the day of such auspicious celebrations he must think he has arrived in Nirvana. Shame i miss out on another feast to celebrate Wilkens birthday on 2nd May.
Mia helps the children with the balloons. The tent behind is where Wilkens and i inhabit
