Thursday 3rd March It's a hard long day that starts at 3-ish am. Malcolm helps me make cookies and rinse the mung beans. I do washing. We leave to go up the mountain to visit the girl from the hospital. 8 of them live in a small 3 room mud hut. Life seems so unfair for some. When we are back we eat lunch. I'm so tired I try and nap after putting the mung beans on to cook. The beans turn out very nice. I start working on the girls school questions. A big heavy ra...

Wednesday 2 March We get up early and are ready to leave about 8am. It's a peaceful trip to Arusha. We first stop at a big department store and get a few things. Next to the fabric market. We find some that we like. Getting the plain fabric for the quilt backs is more complicated as we walk to the store then realise we need more money, so walk back to exchange some, then to the store and back. It's a bit quicker at the post office as we know where to go and wha...

Tuesday 1 March After doing the dishes I hang out washed donated things and put on more loads. It starts to rain after lunch so I'm rushing in and out to bring in and re hang out.

They could have joined with the first and saved time. Malcolm has pizza ready when I come back from dropping peniniah off and ...

Monday 29 February After breakfast I get all my plan lesson ready. Hannah talks with the manager, interviews a lady for the girls house programme and gives out payroll. Malcolm does the school run and collects food for the day care. Mohammad drives into a pole, so they try and straighten the car out. Poor car. It takes time to become a good driver. I wash the dishes. It's nearly 11 when we go to the pharmacy to collect the female condom- but they didn't get it....

Sunday 28 February It's quietly busy. After breakfast we work on the money doing payroll and balancing the budget. Malcolm goes to fix dryer if he can at Lita's. Violet comes to swap baby clothes for the next size. We start prepping for dinner and are still working on it when Chris and Lita arrive. There is a massive rain down pour and I mop up nearly a full bucket of water coming in under the door. Hannah goes to get a few extra supplies. We have a delicious ...
