How are you, comrades, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, and friends?
We are well (sisi ni vizuri!) here in Tanzania. After 10 hours of class, our Swahili is progressing. Can you tell?
Yesterday afternoon was our first trip to the orphanage. We thoroughly enjoyed the half hour walk there…probably a highlight of our trip so far. We walk through villages and among goats, roosters, children playing, women washing clothes, boys swimming in the stream, everyone yelling hello and how are you—even a man from up in a coconut tree! (and those trees are REALLY tall…at least 40 feet or more?)
Our time at the orphanage was just as rewarding as the walk there. We arrived to find many more children than there were hands to care for them, and a great time was had by all. Not sure if the kids know how to use the bathroom, and they do not have diapers either. So many of us left, um…wet. But happy.
Usiku mwema (for us, 8 hours ahead of Waverly time) and mchana mwema to you!
