27 1 16 Today we went to the Kazuri centre where they make pottery beads. We had a tour of the factory from mixing the clay through pressing moulding painting and firing. The work is very labour intensive this was done by the lady who started it to provide a lot of work for single unemployed mothers. The main product is beads but they produce all other sorts of pottery as well Mary bought a necklace and bracelet. We then went to the Giraffe sanctuary where they have Rothschild's giraffe. We were able to feed them and a young man gave us some interesting information about them. We went next to a place called the souke a small coffee house and retail outlet for fancy goods and had coffee and soup. Finally we went to visit Frances's church and meet his Pastor John. he welcomed us and introduced us to his team. He was very keen in helping his congregation and Cecilia would like to do some of her healthy living and diabetes prevention presentation. His church was planted there in 1978 and has totally transformed the area from one with a lot of drunkenness and a dangerous place to a prosperous place with a market he introduced. Then a wonderful lady from the church took us around the market and Cecilia bought lots of interesting African vegetables then off to Pork corner the meat.
Then Cecilia turned all these into a delicious African meal with ugali.
