Maybe I will return

Yesterday we were supposed to go to Arusha for the full day and visit the Rwanda Tribunal. As it was, it was closed so we went to placement in the morning, and then to Arusha to shop (read: buy tanzanite). Becuase Bondeni we weren't going to be there at all yesterday, I went to Tuleeni orphanage and helped teach a class of seven 7 to 10 year olds. It was interesting and way fun. We did multiplication tables, sang songs, wrote stories, played outside and they showed me their numerous pigs. What a treat!

The people I've met here are great. Tony has volunteered all over the world in various conditions. He wants to return to Tanzania next year to work in the Congolese refugee camp by Lake Victoria. I said to count me in, and because his thinks that you can put me anywhere in the world and I'd be just fine, he agrees that it would be great if I came too. So, when we get home, we have some research to do and, for me, some Swahili to learn. Any idea how one to learn Swahili in Morgantown, WV?

  1. Who's this Tony who wants you to travel to dangerous places? I'm not sure I like him.
