Baby visit

At St Jude's, if someone gets married, has a baby or loses a family member we all put money in to give to them. Since I've been here, we've had 4 babies and another one the way in the next week, 2 funerals and a wedding... very busy family lives! Part of the giving is to attend as well, so for a new baby we are all invited to the house for a meal and a hold of the new baby. Last weekend 25 of us went to Rasul's house to meet Rahama, his new daughter.

This was one of the rooms in Rasul's house where we sat to meet Rahama. This is Dan cooing.


Rasul, Rahama and his wife (forgotten her name). We had to split up into 2 groups and sit in separate rooms to fit in his house... but the food was awesome....AND I got to hold Rahama twice!!! She also had drawn on eyebrows.
