We took part in our Annual Festival and we did very well! Congratulations to all the ladies and their families. We had participants of all ages and they all did extremely well.

We won 7 cups – Jess’s grandson & granddaughter won a cup each for best entry in their age groups, Lish’s daughter a 1st for her Choc Brownies. Farzana took the cup for Open Sewing Class. We also won the Mingi Cup again for the most entrants into the competition.

Our Branch group entry was fantastic – Jess had a brain wave and Nicky’s sister lent us her lazy susan so all photos could be seen by turning the table!

Festival of Arts and Crafts entries, at Razia's house Crater Lane, Milimani, Nakuru on 12 November 2024

Meeting at Christines's Home in Milimani Nakuru, on 29 October 2024

Cheryle introduced our guest speaker, Nim Njuguna (NN) whose book, Enlarging the Tent, about the ongoing dialogue about racism, sexism and tribalism – the underlying cultural and familial attitudes that lead to so many differences in our world of today. These “-ism’s” could be addressed by embracing with genuine understanding the problems that these forms of otherness bring to our lives and find a way to actively unlearn these barriers.

NN was born and brought up in Molo and Nakuru in the 1950s/1960s – at the height of colonialism and all the discriminations that this inflicted. He has been in Vienna and England for most of his working life in the church, latterly the Quakers in England and has recently retired to Mbaruk, Nakuru.

The floor was opened for questions and comments and we all wanted to join the debate. Everyone was completely spellbound by his wonderful talk and would have liked to carry on and on! Thank you so much and look forward to having many more discussions and quiet times with Nim and Liz
