Reaquainting & Reminiscing (R&R) in Nairobi

We’ve had a great 3 weeks in Nairobi, catching up with old friends and even making some new ones. It has been a good time of refreshing and re-supplying for Sudan. We have been very happy staying at SIM-Kenya's Rose Avenue compound, in a lovely 3 bed house, where the children have had a big garden to play in and friends to play with. The highlight was the arrival of Deborah’s parents on the 15th. Here’s a selection of pictures:

A fun day out at Kitengani Glass, makers of mosaics, stained glass and recycled glass products - very creative and inspiring

The highlight for Deborah was their rope bridge with views over the wilderness beyondTaking Gareth & Mary to our favourite restaurant
