Monday, 25 August 2008

This is my last week here in Moshi! I can't believe it's been almost eight weeks since I arrived here. It's all been so incredible and I will be sad to leave. As you can probably tell I didn't have as much time as I would have wished on Saturday to post updates and photos, but I wanted to share as much as I could - there are so many photos and it's so hard to choose just a few to share. When I am back to NYC I will spend some time uploading the photos so you will be able to see most of them - you wouldn't want to see all (there is over a thousand now and I still have a month to go)!

Yesterday I went to the orphanage again. This time Mama Lucy gave us a tour - she is the one that runs the orphanage. She is such an amazing woman and it was great to be able to spend some time with her. After the orphanage our taxi driver here had invited a group of us for dinner at his house and to meet his family. It was his way of thanking us for the business. It was great to be able to go into someones home and be able to spend time with their family. People are so incredible here.

I imagine this week is going to be incredibly busy and I probably won't have another chance to post. Saturday I will board the plane and begin my next journey! Not sure how much internet access I will have in the next month, but will post as soon as I can.

I also want to send many thanks to those that have helped contribute to the benches, desks and sponsoring. It's a tremendous help and going to such a good cause.

Hope everyone is enjoying the last bit of summer!
