Splish, Splash, Birthday Bash

23.03.2014

People refused to celebrate my 18. birthday for a second time...

Sooo I'm 19 now!

Wow..

It doesn't even sound impressing

Lisa and her friend Julie (arrived yesterday) woke me up at 7 am with a hot, black coffee, chocolate and Steve Wonders' "Happy Birthdaaay".

A good start in the day despite the early hour.

We had already prepared juice yesterday. It smelled/tasted like chewing gum >.<

Waking up so early had a reason! My parents donated a waffle-maker. So we dedicated it and indroduced the children to the awesomeness of waffles! 

45 eggs, 4kg flour, 2kg butter, 4kg sugar, 11l milk....

I hope I'll have a big family one day. I love cooking in masses!

And Banana-Chocolate-Cinnamon... Flavouuurs!

Da geiern se

There's a birthday tradition in Kenya called "Shower of Blessings". People poor water over the birthday person. A lot. In my case mostly dirty water. Like the water the dishes were washed with, the water Matumbo was washed with, the water were the ducks bathe in etc. Any water!

At least the weather was fine and I mentally prepared :D

generous as I am I didn't hesitate to pass my blessings ;)

Time to dress up. At least it's my day.

My former school grade had over 4000€ left over after we graduated last year.

Collective we decided to donate 50% to the flood victims of the philipinnes and 50% to the childern's home I'm staying.

Today 3/4 of the donated 2000€ reached Heritage of Faith and Hope Cildren's Home!

Most of the money will be used for the education of the children by paying their school fees.

About 400€ will get used for planting fruit trees and buying dustbins. 

Projects, which I aimed to realise for quite a long time.

The other 500 € of the donation will be donated to the Mama Tunza Children's Home in Ngong for building a path before the rainy season starts.

The catastrophal, muddy cirsumstances shall be solved very soon.

A project my parents inspired, when they went to visit the orphanage last month.

A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO THE CLASS OF 2013!!!

Sweet hearts for the sweet-hearts!

Second, unexpected shower of blessing!

Haahaaa! Let the water war begin!!
