Tanzania Blog #2
Today for July forth the Tanzania crew visited our Orkeeswa friends at their school. There we were thoroughly impressed not only by the physical school but the pride that the students share for it. Therefore it was no surprise that the time we spent there was more than we bargained for. While there we interacted in broken Swahili with our new friends, talking about subjects such as school subject, everyday school commute and chores, and of course the slaughtering of goats. After the tour, and traumatic sight of a slaughtered goat, we then enjoyed each other’s company and got to know the Orkeeswa students a lot better. For lunch, we had a mix goat meat (the same meat from the goat before), rice, and potatoes. It was a time shared by all to really get to know the students who we were building not only a basketball court, but also strong relationships as well. We then were guided by students through the villages nearby where we were able to look upon some of their homes. The sight was beautiful and the large fields of crops, stretching across acres and acres, took our breaths away.
