Public Service Week

I don’t really know what this is. But it involves a parade. And lots of little flags.


And a marching band. Every parade needs a marching band. Although they all seemed to be playing different songs. Every Ministry sends a delegation to march through the streets with a giant banner. In the name of public service. Jason and I somehow managed to volunteer for this delegation. So we set off in our matching polyester shirts and caps, through downtown Nairobi, in the full mid-morning sun.

People came out on to the street to cheer and jump for joy as we passed.


Great fun was had by all.


(Blog posts have been a little light recently because, in addition to making us march through town, the Ministry has also been giving us work to do. Yikes. Will try and get the camera out this weekend though.)
