So today Leann and I went down to the pharmacy in Pangani to help the nurses organize meds. The task was pretty daunting because the room was a disaster. There were boxes stacked upon boxes of random medications. There were bottles of leaking hydrogen peroxide on the floor. There were suitcases full of needles. It was an awesome morning! Medical teams who come to do clinics leave all their extra supplies with Pangani. It was fun to clean and organize. The nurses really appreciated our efforts.
We rolled out of work early at noon because we had a full afternoon of cooking ahead of us. Leann, Julie, and I cooked quesadillas, Mexican chicken salad, squash, and guacamole for 30 people. It cracks me up that I am learning how to cook now that I'm in Kenya. We slaved away in the kitchen for about 4 hours. It was pretty epic. Everyone loved the meal.
Yum! Mexican food! Whenever you get back, we need to get some old friends together, and we can cook up a Mexican feast, Kenya style!!! deal?!
ReplyDeleteRight after you publish a book called "Adventures in Nairobi" :)
I totally agree! You need to write a book! Also, I am so glad you are cooking and it sounds like you are really enjoying it! Hurray! We definitely need to have Mexican Mondays (or any day of the week)when you get home. So good to hear from you. Your blog entries open my eyes to a new culture and I have a great love for the people that you are serving! xoxo Mom
