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?:)

these are the latest pix. most are from the children's center in mburuhati and one is just from the street. so, still not sick, good stuff. yesterday was quite a day...we took the dala dala aka local bus at nite and can we just say that it looked like "city of god". if you haven't seen that brazilian movie, i highly recommend. so, we went there and did the children's program, which consisted of dancing and singing with kids. hello, i can do that! we also reviewed some english words. hey, i know english, i can do that too! if only i could learn kiswahili! i have so far learned numbers 1-10 and very very few words. it's so hard! this is no italian my friends!:) damn, and i thought i was so good at languages!

so, the bus ride was filled with being crammed in with people and apparently deodorant doesn't exist in this country! ha, fun fun fun...maybe i'll assimilate! how fun for everyone when come i home!:)

i'll be getting my sim card for my cell today and we are going to download a program to be able to talk over the internet. you know you wanna call me! keep ya in the loop....much love, ar.

escribi bastante en ingles, pero queria que vieran un poco de los ninos con la cual estamos trabajando. cantamos y bailamos con ellos y le ensenamos ingles. estoy tratando de aprender swahili, pero es full dificil. les mando much amor por aca y les pido que me escriban para saber de ustedes.

un abrazo fuerte,
any
