Tanzania update

Written by Karen Townsend - Tanzania 2008 Detours Volunteer

hey! everything is good here.

i had a little meltdown about a week ago but since then i have been really good. my meltdown was the result of having too high expectations when it came to the professionalism of the teachers (slack bunch of imposters!) and culture shock. but i have talked it thru with donna (who knows all about the slackness of the teachers) and i have decided to focus on the kids and having a good time in the classroom.
dan and i just got back from a weekend in arusha national park so we are on a bit of a high right now- so many giraffe and so little memory space in my camera! donna has been fabulous and we are actually at her house now.. we'll head back tomorrow to ilkurot for our fill of dust and dirty wonderful children!
