The Batak Feast

Mrs Irene busy cooking for our Batak Feast. Shopping took about 5 hours as it was hard to find correct ingredients We were expecting 25 people to come but 42 people arrived

Not all people were young enough to sit on our mat.

But those who did enjoyed it

We are getting more and more things as we travel to Sumatera. The Buku Ende is from HKBP Sidikalang

The room was decorated with many ulos - about 15 of them.

The program and menu were in English, some Batak and some Bahasa

We had two guest speakers who spoke of other projects in Sumatera Utara.

Mr Ces and Mrs Shirley Reynolds spoke of theit visit to Sidikalang (with photos) and Mr Graham and Irene Donges spoke of the Pementang Siantar part of their visit, (also with photos)
