A group of people living in Kigali, working for Tony Blair (providing technical assistance to the President), hosted a fun costume party on Friday.
Some of the attendees:
Harry Potter
Ginger Spice
A member of the M16 (British CIA)
Amy Whinehouse and a Bond girl
Jenny dressed as a pound of silver and I was paparazzi with the "News of the World" (the slimiest newspaper in London!)
The appropriate reaction to my picture taking.
Joan Collins and Jenny
Sporty Spice
Lady Di
Saturday: International Fair and the Ambassador's Residence (charity event)
I volunteered to help set up the American booth so I could be there to sample all of the yummy food before it got too crowded.
Nice and tacky decorations!
The Canadian booth
The British booth
Steve and Ann enjoying all of the samples.
Glad I got there early! (The American booth served hamburgers, hot dogs, and chocolate chip cookies)
Sunday: A CDC Family Gathering (at Bambino's, a Rwandan fun park)
The senior team and myself pitched in to provide our staff and their families with a much needed, fun Sunday get-away. I was able to do the master negotiating and planning to make the arrangements and allow the kids to use all of the play equipment for a really great bargain. It was a wonderful time to get to know our CDC family members better. We had a fantastic turnout- 30 adults and 25 kids!
Many of our team members and their kids had never been to this park, because the rides are very expensive. They were so incredibly appreciative.
The adults had a chance to enjoy the rides too.
Including me!
I aranged for kid plates with french fries and pizza, and adult plates with beef kebabs and chicken.
I think this event will go down in our office memory books for many years!
