Eyes of Tanzania

This a photo of my room this morning.

Errr… Might be nice if I posted the image with this one…

Here you go.

The is the orphanage that I hear every night. it is a ball throw way from the house that I am staying in.

I got half a tour of the hospital yesterday. They brought me into the X-Ray room, the equipment was from the 40’s and the dark room caught me off guard.

I have been doing fine emotionally to this point. This is a HIV center for teaching and helping out this people effected by HIV and AIDS. These kids were amazing, the teacher they had was fantastic to. But they are directly effect of HIV/AIDS or have it.

I meet with some the mothers. Single mom with 5 childern husband died of AIDS etc…

Hard very hard not getting emotional about it.

After this I realized I need to take the morning off tomorrow and wander around.Need to clear out the head.

Hi Everyone,

The internet has been down and me and the other 8 volunteers have been trying to get on line.

Here is a photo from the New Paradise,  The kids were fantastic and a lot of fun to play with.

I am off to my first orphanage today. Geffory is picking me up at 1300. I am slowly getting the lay of the land. There are about 8 volunteers here with me and spent some time with them last night at the canteena, having stale donuts and Chi tea.

My room is better than my fears, but I was woken up last night by ythe cry of a dog or something. It seemed like there was some sort of gaming going on beween the animals at 2 am.

On a nicer note being woken by kids singing at 8 am on there ways to church was a nice alarm clock.

The network here is slow. I will be down grading my olympus camrea so I can post images.

More soon.

I made it. lots of stories on that ride. But that will have to wait for another day.

My stomach is in knots, I sleep a little in my three days of traveling. So, we  are off to get water and drop me off to where I will live.

It  is a complete culture shock. but I should get the acent down soon.

I hope to post images, more on that tommorow.
