Here at last

Hello to all my friends and family.

After a very long trip I arrived safely and with minimal trubble in Tanzania last week. I have been extreamly busy for the last week, getting used to my new and very diffrent surroundings, but still i appoligise for not posting sooner.

Anyways, all is well here. I have spent several days working at my placement, the Tanzanin Childrens Concern, working with diffrent age students. they range form the baby class, roughly pre-school, through what we would call 4th grade. Many of the children are orphans and live at the school, and they all wear green uniforms. For the most part i have been working with the grade 1 and grade 3 students, working on math and english.

About Tanzania, it is hot here. But I must admit, its not too bad. the weather reminds me of hot days in Auguest, durring the middle of the day you just find some shade and dont move too much if you dont have to. As for more details, well, really there is just too much for me to say right now. It is simply so diffrent from anything else I have expieranced. In future post's I will try to delve deeper into the detalis of Tanzania.

For now however, there is a line for the computer forming, and I must go. The computer is old and not always reliable, so I can't upload any pictures here at the CCS homebase. Maybe tomorrow if I go into Moshi to the internet cafe I will put up a few pictures.

For now, good night

Dude! So glad to hear that you arrived safely and all is well. I have been checking the Blog daily for updates so its great that we hear from you. The whole gang is already counting the days till you get back. If I could put in a photo suggestion for a Tanzanian sunset, that'd be awesome. Hope to hear from you soon.
