AR goes to Africa

Just arrived to Tanzania to volunteer at Friends of Tanzania working with kids diagnosed with HIV. Miss you all already...but have Curious George and Winnie the Pooh to keep me company. What? I'm 31, what's your point?:)

roller coaster...some days i'm ok, some days i'm bored, some days i find everything so fascinating, some days i'm homesick, all days i'm jr sick and then i got really sick. no malaria or anything, just a lil cold. i missed medical clinic this week bc of it, but i went to work with the notman's to raise money for the program by doing entertainment at a children's party. it was in this gorgeous hotel with an infinity pool and amazing ocean view. wow! i got preteens to dance and play games. who's gonna complain about that, i love dancing! they even played the shakira song. you know the world is becoming a more colombia friendly place! yeah for colombia!

i've been teaching the kids in tabata how to dance salsa, merengue, and carnaval music, bc this girl needs to exercise and i like teaching them something they'll have. may be teaching english at a local elementary, but haven't looked into yet.

may be going to zanzibar on thurs and then go to lake victoria and the serengeti on safari. long vacation, but i'll be back to work. probably make it to the internet cafe b4 i go.

that's the scoop, see pix. most are from my walk to the the buses, but also the kids in the house, the house, and kibwana. he's the one who lives in the house too.

kiss to all. feel free to write and share your anecdotes with me or send a friendly text message
