Algonquin visit to UMATU Centre



Our wageni (guests) from Canada arrived on Wednesday and their first stop was UMATU Centre where UMATU women welcomed them with their usual flair. After a tour of the offices, kitchen/bakery and training/activity centre, some serious shopping took place. Our guests pretty much bought up UMATU's current supply of khanga bags and beaded jewelry. It was a very good day for UMATU's income-generating aspirations.

After the shopping spree, to everybody's great surprise UMATU produced a beautiful, uniquely decorated birthday cake they had whipped up for Sue Ellen. After Sue Ellen blew out the candles, we all shared the delicious carrot cake. UMATU women are really honing their baking skills. Next week -- banana loaf.
