Day 9 - Fashion show, quiet day and dinner

 Today was a fun and chill day. After all of us waking up around 7 to 8 am we had omelettes, fresh pineapple and mango for breakfast. It was a slow morning today which was good after a couple of early and hard days. We had a quick devotion then finished getting ready to go to YSU

At YSU we were presented with a fashion show by the girls who studied fashion design and sewing there. It was great to see all the colourful and creative creations worn by proud women with smiles and dances as they walked the runway. We saw recycled outfits, two peices, skirts, colourful pants and many dresses, each with different designs and patterns. Throughout the show we were also entertained by Alpha and Kirk's  occasional appearance of swagger. ( The two toddlers of the workers at YSU).

After the show we hung around learning some dances, connecting with the women more, hanging out with the kids,  buying some of the amazing clothes and taking measurements so we could get some pieces hand made for us. We said bye and headed back to Suubi with pancakes prepared for lunch. 

With 3 and a bit hours to spare until we left for town and dinner some of us played cards, had down time or sat and talked on the roof 

At 4 we headed off to town for some last minute shopping and a cold drink at the cafe before dinner. 

We had a lovely dinner with the hopebuilders staff with amazing food and good conversations for a couple of hours.
