Friday 12 February I sleep well. Nearly till 6. An improvement! After breakfast Hannah and I head to the school to help make the porridge. The gas is nearly out and it's a big pot. It doesn't cook in time before the gas runs out. We have to take it over to mama junior's house to finish cooking it. It takes good and the children Enjoy it more. The mud is pretty bad today and we finally manage to put the jeep in low 4wd. Today is Hope's last day with us and she w...

Thursday 11 February I wake at 4 instead of two and feel pretty good. I start to nap again by the time it's time to get up. I make a smoothie for breakfast. It was raining super heavy in the night. The roads are slippery. Hannah goes up to the school to see how they are making porridge and it's so terrible.

Hannah and Malcolm get photos of the children at the school and then we head to the girls school for round two. It's nearly 4 again before we start. It goes very well and Hope ...

Monday 8 February I'm up early. I shower to wash my hair. I forgot last night. We have breakfast and after Malcolm returns from dropping the kids we head into Arusha. It's event free and we don't get stopped by police. We visit many hardware stores before getting what we need - some screws! The store is very busy do we go out to buy herbs. Lori's phone appears to have more problems than a battery. I spot what I'm looking for at a shop as we walk by. At the rig...
