So for the weekend, I’ve been hanging out in Dar es Salaam. So many PCVs have been passing through, it has been a rare opportunity to catch up on who is doing what, and where.
Jackie is headed to the States for Christmas, and has booked a raft of meetings with Rotary, Kiwanis, and Churches, where she will talk about her site in Africa and sell change purses that her students crocheted using plastic shopping bags. The proceeds will fund bus trips for her students to educational sites in Tanzania.
Carly wasn’t getting much cooperation from her school so started a Village Women’s Group, teaching health and nutrition, with special emphasis on physiology – what is menstruation and what happens and why, practical lessons on family planning and AIDS/HIV safety with bananas and donated condoms .
Patty is sharing my double room here ($15/night, a far cry from London), and is in the process of moving her site to a schools that has a greater need for her assistance.
We’ve pretty much been doing our own things during the day, and then getting together somewhere for dinner. Sometimes local inexpensive food and sometimes upscale tourist food.
