And now my African boy has just had his seventh birthday- in South Sudan.
Together with seven other MAF kids (4 of whom are here only temporarily), plus Esther and Ben, we had lots of fun celebrating Ben's seven years!
Ben chose a Space Theme for his party.
The fun blasted off with some Space craft activities, followed an egg-drop challenge (lots of fun! for more info, see http://lemonlimeadventures.com/creating-perfect-egg-drop-project/#_a5y_p=1491040), then some space games like "stick the fire on the blasting-off rocket", alien chase... and of course, a birthday tea.
It was all rounded off with a rocket birthday cake and party bags (with contents sourced from Nairobi shops!).

Aunty Susan (who cares for some of the MAF kids and works as house-help for a MAF family here), joins in the fun as she attempts to place the fire at the rocket's base:
Getting ready for birthday tea- and it was amazing how useful Ben's bed-sheet proved to be as it doubled up as a table cloth, perfect for his theme!
Happy BEN, what fun and clever mum. Having read your other blog it was hard to look at Susan so enjoying herself here x nana
