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?:)

hey all...still sandy from kipepeo beach, but thought i'd send a quick hello. i'll be taking the kids there on saturday, so i thought i'd check it out first. you know, take one for the team!:) it was beautiful, almost zanzibar, but not quite. i rode a camel! yes, you read that correctly, rode a camel! i was so cool and really scary actually. jerky movements and i screamed getting down. some people have said i've been known to be dramatic. who are these people?:)

i took the kids to the water park last week and they loved it and are still asking about it. yeah, it's not happening again, but they are excited about the beach. it takes 3-4 buses and a ferry, but they should get a chance to ride a camel too. i know they'll love it. i'm excited.

other news is that my friend got her phone stolen at a club on friday. good times. also, we went for traditional african dance, and got there to only see 2 songs. losers! oh well, another time, another place.

other than that, it stopped raining and things are good. my girlfriends are leaving tomorrow, so i'll be solo once more...luckily i have a lot of things to do this week. gotta print pix for kids, get money to program, thanks to all my gracious and generous friends and family:). it wil be put to very good use. the first thing will be for school fees for the older kids.

gotta run.

much love,
ar.
