My heart wasn't ready for it...

I have made it back to Africa. I am in Dar es Salaam.

I sadly have to say my joy turned to sadness within 4 hours. I went with three others to run some errands and on our way back we saw people screaming and trying to put out a fire. A Daladala, a minivan which carrys many people as transport, somehow caught fire. Before we knew it a women with a badly burned baby came running to our car. As I sit in the front I looked back and saw the skin dripping from the baby while she cried "mama mama." We are arrived as Dar es Salaam University hospital and soon after another car arrived with another baby, and 2 adults who had been burned.

I wish I could have started with something better but T.I.A. (This is Africa)
