4 July (Wednesday)
We had boiled eggs for breakfast. Carl used the membrane inside the eggshell for demonstration with teachers at Anajali. It was difficult to see through, but the edge revealed the membrane was made of fibers haphazardly arranged.
Today we caught up on the students that we had not gotten records for before because they were absent or we just hadn't gotten to their class yet, and we handed out white sox to the girls. (We didn't have enough for the boys, but that was corrected after we left when Anne and Wellington went into Nairobi and bought some for them). We took a tour of the chicken coops following lunch and we continued to help the sponsored students compose letters to their sponsors.
Supper consisted of pilau (rice, curry, meat casarole) and peas and carrots in a liquid sauce that was put on the rice. After supper we did our usual dishes and clean up chores, record keeping, devotional, and then made sandwiches for the following day. After that, it was off to bed.
