Food

For all those wondering about what we're eating, lunch and dinner is largely based around rice or pasta with a variety of sauces containing beans (sometimes meat!) and lots of vegetables, cue Grace's disgusted face.
Breakfasts usually contain toast but have varied from boiled eggs to homemade donuts. The tea tastes different to at home because it is made purely with milk but it is very refreshing.
Although we're enjoying the traditional Kenyan food, we're Yorkshire girls at heart and so have stocked up on a few home comforts such as biscuits for when we're slightly peckish.

At school the children are served porridge at breaktime (made with neither oats nor milk) which, from tasting ourselves, is sort of sweet depending on how much sugar the kitchen staff decide to put in it and is very filling. Lunchtime sees the children being served ugali (cornflour, millet flour and water) and a cabbage concoction (cabbage, onions and tomatoes). It's actually very tasty!



 When there is enough money, the children are treated to beans (very occasionally beef) and rice.
