We were invited to a party.
We found out when we arrived that it was to benefit the Rotary Club of Thika. And that it cost money. Ooops. Thankfully, I had the exact amount of the entrance fee (to cover the awesome dinner) in my wallet.
Here are some pics of the festivities:

The good news in all of these festivities was that the Thika Rotary Club had raised funds to provide over 30 wheelchairs (specially adapted and fitted to particular needs) in this last year. Many of them going to the Salvation Army’s JoyTown school. It is fabulous to see prominent people with means in the community giving back to others!
