All is good in Tanzania... Don't have a long time the type so ill get straight to the point, the blog!
We have now past the one month mark, and are rapidly approaching halfway. The thought scares us both a little, considering how much we have grown to love the work, and of course, the community of Tanga. The new month saw the departures of some good mates from last month, as we welcome 18 new gappers from all over the world to share the experience with! This month also saw us moving to a new camp within the community, comfortably fitting the new big group, at a destination with its very own beach!
So 5 weeks in, and we can now call this camp a home. We are continuing mama's house as our main project, which will allow us to see a projects completion, start to finish, which is of course, an unbelievable experience. The day we hand over the house will be a day we will remember for a very long time. As well as this we have been continuing other various community works, such as seaweed farming, cow milking and herding, palm weaving, and teaching english to the local community.
On top of all this, last week Gemma and I experienced a safari, in Tarangire National Park. To summarise the experience is an impossible task, I guess all we can say is, you HAVE to see it for yourself! Photos will not do any justice!
All in all, time is going too fast, there is still so much to learn, so much to do, yet we have already achieved and experienced more than ever expected.
sounds amazing!
