Tea Party - Princesse Day-

About one year ago a team from Alabama came to help with Royal Family Kids Camp at Challenge Farm. R.F.K.C. is a special camp designed for kids who have been abused, neglected, orphaned, etc. In preparation for the camp, the team collected many formal dresses that women or girls were no longer using. Their idea was to host a special tea party during the camp week where the girls would choose a dress to wear, apply make up, and have chai (tea with milk) together. Men who came on the team escorted the girls to the tea party. Not one of those girls will ever forget that day. I've posted a few pictures for you to see how beautiful the girls looked.

The boys, however, did not participate in this activity, but we found out that they really wanted to. So, this year, Ashley, the camp trained RFKC leader, has been given a huge donation of tuxes and suits for the gentleman to wear. All that we need are a few more dresses since we have brought in more girls off the street. If you have a used bridesmaid dress, no matter what year you wore it, or your daughter has a used batmitzvah, flower girl, or junior bridesmaid dress, you would be willing to donate, please email me - rhonda.pickett@gmail.com

As I mentioned in my previous blog, I will be flying back to Kenya November 16th. All I will be taking are items for the kids at Challenge Farm. I would appreciate your help in making these kids feel special!

Rhonda,
Just happened to find this blog by seeing you as a friend of someone else who I stumbled across while wondering around on google. Please have a safe journey to Kitale and please tell the woman who put me up at the Karibuni lodge hello and thank her again for me for all she did. Without her I could have never made it to Africa and back! Also please take care of Lynn. Your so awesome and I know you are the envy of Ashley as she would love to be able to spend as much time in Africa as you have.
