Jamhuri Day

this is the day that kenya celebrates its independence. or as the kids say "it's the 4th of july." then we add, "on the 12 of December".

Jamhuri day is celebrated to a much lesser degree that in America. Of the four or five perspectives that we have heard, the days celebrations range from, "everyone will be celebrating"...to ...."no one really does anything special". so what does that mean for our family...well, we slept in (office is closed). We are having people over for tea, and will likely have a day of rest at home.

no fireworks, cook outs or even flags.

happy

Jamhuri Day

  1. I'm sure you enjoyed having a day off and enjoyed your friends too. After language classes, a day off is good for your whole family. Thanks for skyping with me twice over the weekend!
