Gift

Back to Swahili lessons today and we got to play Simon Says (in Swahili) to help us learn the parts of the body. It was a fun way to practice. We were able to get out early again so I went home and washed some more clothes, including my kanga (basically a piece of decorative cloth used as a wrap) for the first time. Since I wear it while cooking as well as the and from the shower, it needed to be cleaned. I see now though that \I missed a couple of oil-looking spots. Next time I’ll try putting soap on those s[pots before putting the kanga in the bucket of water.

After hanging my clothes out to dry, I headed over to Will’s house because I had given him my digital camera yesterday so he could try uploading my photos onto my jump drive. Unfortunately we couldn’t get the pictures to transfer so we’ll try using the disc next time. However, I did get a chance to type up a couple of blog entries so I can just copy and paste them next time I’m in an internet café.

At home, my mama gave me a kanga. It is a rich yellow, red, and black. Although I probably would not pick it out myself, I do like the saying on it. Also, she had it hemmed on the edges so it doesn’t fray like my other one.
