Well I am here and feeling fairly settled in now. The weather is hot stuff! about 30 degrees most days which leaves you always dripping and i am drinking about 5 litres of water a day!
I am working 4 days a week at Friends of Don Bosco, an orphanage for disadvantaged children. It is a nice place but run very much by swahili time! and they could do with a kick up the bum! Also volunteering there is Ash from Canada, Megan (who goes to George town) and lives in Washington, and two German guys one of which has Malaria!!! It's nice because we can all plan improvements together! I am also a teacher of Maths and English. Fun stuff, I find it very rewarding and I like the power of setting homework.
My host home is nice too, their are loads of lodgers so I never know who anyone is but my host Mum and Dad are very nice! We have 2 week old kittens which are soooo cute. Emi you would love them!
I am getting used to showering with a bucket and squatting toilets, even if we all rush to the nearest flushing loo as soon as we can!
Our "base" is TYC Tanzania Youth Coalition, and everyone that works their is under 28 so its just one big party! I went out to "Shake the bone" with them all last night and had a great time, they are teaching me how to roll my hips!
We go to the beach most weekends and some evenings, no one can really swim here and the beach isnt a big locoal attraction so the beaches are very empty even if they are dirty. You can pay 3000 sh (1 pound 50) and go to a really georgeous beach that is cleaned (there are quite a few priviate beaches) and that is the plan for tomorrow!
We are planning to go to Morogoro national park for our MPR, and that is in 3 weeks. I am SO excited!
Right I must dash!
I will write again soon!
Bye Bye!
