Camp life is amazing - at the moment there are only 15 of us known as the three mothers! We are in Moshi for the first month then head off to various places finishing up in Zanzibar for nine days.
Apart from the slight adjustment my stomach is having to make everything else is going well.
The construction project is the dining hall at the local school which will be amazing when its finished - it will be used for 600 children.At the moment they are all on holidays but there are still some hanging around and lending us a helping hand - one little boy yesterday got a little bit too enthusiastic shoveling sand with me and my finger has come out a little bit worse for wear. There's a fierce rivalry in camp between the British and the Australians (there are 7 of us) but we have banded together to support each other through the world cup!!
Having Swahili lessons twice a week in camp is fun but I'm not very good- its a beautiful language to know though!! and my book is filling up. Soon i will ACTUALLY be a Mbongo (local)
On Sunday we went to an orphanage which was just incredible - there was one little girl who just broke my heart and i know that we will definitely goo back in the next three months. No words can do it justice so when i get a chance i will put as many pics up as i can but the internet can be quite slow!!!
Tash you would hate all the moths - i think there was about 10 around 1 light last night and one decided to go down my top!!! How is everything with you all at home?? Whats news in Australia?? All we get here is the world cup results and CNN crap. Feeling very out of it.
I think we are planning to go to Arusha next week for the night to see the Rwanda War Crimes Tribunal but will keep you all updated!!!
Poa Kichizi Kama Ndizi (crazy cool like bananas)
Nakupenda!!!
