Things here in Chamwino are well. Everyday has been sunny, windy, and quite peaceful. I have not seen a drop of rain or even a cloud which looked like it had a rain drop in it. This area of Tanzania does not see rain until usually late November. It is extremely dry and sandy. When the winds come so does the sand. The other day I walked by a guest house and in the courtyard I saw a patch of grass. I stopped and thought to myself, “is that grass?” People here rely on their water taps for water and it’s a good thing water follows regularly; otherwise I don’t know what we would do.
Lately I have been helping with the current construction project and I have also been doing a few English lessons. Time has been a challenge. I have constructed a schedule where I devout certain time to people and often they are late. They don’t understand that their time is then cut short because I may have another group to meet with after. I am trying to find the best way through this but it is taking time.
Every evening there is a large group of kids hanging around the house. If I bring out the soccer ball you will soon find about 20 kids kicking the ball around. Many of the kids are too young for school so during the day they are hanging around playing in the sand. (I have attached some pictures of the kids)
Swahili is coming along very slow. I am picking up a little day by day.
