Weekends here at Rainbow have gotten to be so much fun! I decided to snap a few pics to show some of the events that go on on a typical Rainbow weekend in Malawi!
I have been teaching the older girls to cook on Sunday afternoons. They read the recipe from the book and I watch as they put it all together. Up until now they had only learned to cook certain traditional Malawian foods (which are amazing) but they didn't know how to read a recipe, measure ingredients, etc. So far we've learned many cake, cookie, bread, and breakfast recipes.
This week the girls learned to cook pancakes. They had never seen or heard of a pancake before.
Eating their new foods is the best part! Especially when it is eaten with syrup!
One of our friends, Levi, an ABC grad and former Mingoli member has started coming to Rainbow to teach singing/choir lessons to the kids. This Saturday was his first lesson. And while he has a lot to teach I think he is up for the challenge. Our goal would be to create a cd of the Rainbow kids!
A few of AJ and SM's best friends ended up playing dress-up and Pretty Pretty Princess on Sunday afternoon. They also had a tea party of cakes, fruit, and raw potatoes from the fields (long story).
SM, Toto (Towerra), Ida, Piri
Meanwhile, while dress-up was going on inside- Jeremy and CJ were playing football outside with the boys. They love football.
Time for makeup!
Even baby J got "forced" into dress-up

Fun weekend at Rainbow!
