Playing Chocolate


After coming back from Nakuru, we visited a wonderful lady named Evelyn. Evelyn's home is a block from Kibera. Her home along with almost all middle and higher class homes are within gated communities. Evelyn has been a member of the church for about 4 years. Although Evelyn has just 3 kids, her house is home to about 12 people. It is very common for extended family to live with each other here in Kenya. During our visit with Evelyn and her family we enjoyed a dinner of chicken gizard soup and potatos. Very interesting. Each of the family members worked hard to organize and serve the meal. Their hospitality and politeness are a great example. After dinner Evelyn invited us to stay for a family devotional. We started with a game we all called "Chocolate." This game is played with a small table with a chocolate candy bar on it placed in the center of circle of players who pass a dice around as quickly as possible. The main jest of the game is to roll a six on a dice then quickly put on a hat and robe and then put socks on your hands. After that you must open a chocolate candy bar, pick up a knife and fork cut the chocolate into small pieces and stab a small piece of chocolate and eat it before the next person rolls a six. It is fast moving and crazy. We will play this game at home.
