I help Liz and company prep the meal for the next day’s closing of the Voluntary Counseling and Testing re-certification training

The chickens for tomorrow’s feast

Kia, Provincial Aids Coordinator, officiates

On my porch:-)

Quite the ceremony

The on-lookers, many of whom received the training

The man who ran the training

Dr. Steve also offers a few words

And so does Agnes, one of the administrators of the hospital

Time to get their certificates

About 20 people received certifications and re-certs, including Elizha

And Liz

Besnia, Pinamai’s wife, who makes a lot of my meri blaus’

At the end Pastor Kopungi offers a prayer

Showing off their certificates

Now Liz invites everyone to eat

All kinds of good foods

Lots of hungry people

So many people I love—Win, his daughter Sandy, Mama Cathy, Pastor Kambu, Pastor Kupongi, Yaki, etc.

Just too cute

Long lines, but plenty of food to go around

Another view

And sitting down to enjoy the food

Julie chats with the workshop facilitator

What a great celebration and a great group
