Elder Dalley's Birthday (plus misc. pics.)

Elder Dalley celebrated his birthday at Monica's Memorial. They sang to them and, per tradition, he served them cake!
Monica's Memorial is a place where vulnerable kids up to age nine can come to school and get two meals. Many are kids whose parents are dead or missing in action in life and live with any relative that will take them in or otherwise would not go to school as it is so expensive here.

As is the tradition in Kenya, because it was his birthday, Elder Dalley served the cake.
