Girls Club Learns to Bake

This Sunday, the LitWorld/Red Rose Girls Club welcomed Ann, mother to two members, to teach the group how to bake without using an oven. How? might you ask... It's quite simple. You mix your ingredients and pour them into the tin. You then place the tin in a tray of sand over a charcoal "jiko", which looks like a small grill. Then, you cover the tin with a metal sheet or tray and place a few lit bits of charcoal on top. The cake is now heated from all sides and can cook just as it would in a normal oven. Don't be afraid to try this at home!

We also introduced the girls to yoga, courtesy of Africa Yoga Project's Krissy and Emily. The girls giggled their way through the basic poses, trying not to lose balance or shove their foot into someone else's face. Soon enough, they'll be experts. Take a look:

Thank you to our special guests for taking time to introduce theirs special skills to the girls. We appreciate it!
