In the kitchen with Bunny


After a few hours at the Esther Home the smell of fresh baked cookies filtered through out the home. Bunny, after providing the home with cooking and baking supplies, taught the girls to bake cookies and prepare rice, beans and vegetables with a variety of seasonings. Bunny was in her element, the girls gathered around her with such love. An 8 x10 photo of Bunny in a Chef Hat has its place in the kitchen. After the meal was prepared and cookies consumed hot out of the oven, they gathered at the dining table with Bunny for their meal. Bunny brought over sealed packets of seasonings, dried fruit and meat and spices.

After inspection of the kitchen space and analyzing the needs, Bunny, along with Carol contacted a carpenter and hired him to build shelves and storage bins. Bunny’s hiking group and long time friends, provided funds for this special project to be done. It will provide a more organized and workable kitchen space. A thank you goes out to this wonderful group of hikers who have been together for several decades.

Other Esther girls that were participating in a pilate class had a hard time concentrating with the laughter coming from the kitchen and the aroma seeping its way into the work out area.

What a wonderful day we had - lots of laughter, conversation and great relationships were formed. Another wonderful and full day here in beautiful Rwanda.
