Hey
It's the end of my first week in moshi and am having a great time. I started my placement on Monday at the secondary school, and was walked to the school by the staff from art in Tanzania. It took an hour to walk to school, and we have to walk through loads of different villages to get there. Although it took an hour to get there I really didn't mind the walk as it was great to see different parts of Moshi, and the villages aren't as touristy as the town, and are more like the Africa i imagined. Walking to school so many people said 'manbo' and 'hujambo' to us, which means hi in Swahili, and they also kept shouting 'munzungu' which meens white person - apparently it's not offensive, but could you imagine walking down the street in England shouting 'black person'?! I walk with 3 other volunteers tooo, and all the kids from the villages run out to say hi when we walk past and want to walk with us and hold our hands. At first I didn't know how their parents would react but they didn't seem to mind, so now it's just expected that when we walk through the villages we will have a trail of children after us! the school I'm in is a secondary school, but it only has two classrooms and 5 teachers. It's not yet a registered school with the Government as it doesn't have walls on the classrooms and it doesn't have enough qualified teachers, but they are working on getting registration. I arrived at the school and met one of the teachers who was really nice and let me watch her Swahili lesson. She then turned round to me and said 'now you can teach English' and handed me the chalk - I was so shocked, i didn't expect to be put on the spot like that! She wanted me to teach the past tense so I threw something together, but i really wasn't expecting to have to do it. After the lesson i was handed a syllabus which I have to teach from, but it just said that I have to teach prepositions this week - no where near as comprehensive as an English syllabus! I found the placement really hard at the beginning of the week but as the days have gone on it's gotten easier, and I really enjoyed teaching on Friday. On Friday they had a 'prayer' lesson after my English lesson, which is where the muslims go in one classroom and the chrisitians go in another classroom and the students lead their own services, without any teachers there. It was so surreal to watch, adn i couldn't believe how disciplied they were!
Apart from school I've also been having swahili lessons with 5 other volunteers on an afternoon. they have been quite funny, but the teacher teaches like he's in the 1970's - we just have to copy notes from the board and read a textbook! As we were all together it madde it fun though. The lessons have ended and next week we start our after noon projects - I think I'm helping with Netball which should be fun.
On an evening we have mostly just been hanging out at the volunteer house, which ahs been really nice for getting to know everyone. the 'old' volunteers always have a poker night on a Tuesday and a quiz on a Wednesday so we joined in with that, and on thursday eve we ended up going out to an outside bar - was a really good night, but I had 3 drinks and woke up with the worst headache, I think it's something to do with the altitude!
This weekend I stayed in Moshi and we went to the orphanage yesterday, and to a church service tmorning!! I was really glad i went to the orphanage but it was so sad - the children have hardly any toys to play with and they sleep 3 and 4 to a bed. Some of the children wet the bed but there isn't anough money to buy more than one matress per bed, so the women who work there have to wash and dry the matresses every day. They were really excited to have us there and they sang us a song to welcome us, and then we spent a few hours playing with the children. At lunch they had to share a plate between two, and I was so shocked that they didn't fight or try to eat each others protions, they were so good at sharing.
Church today was again an experience - there was loads of singing and dancing, and everyone spent about half an hour praying out loud, at first we didn't know what was going on!
best go as my internet time is running out, but hope to hear from you all soon

Niko I am asked for aid upon removing in adtdiion to increasing racing get kart automobile using one portion small wheels generally. Consequently on this ebook We'll seek to describe tips on how to accomplish each. Most of these guidelines tend to be just what has worked very best for me. There is a chance of injuries while rising in adtdiion to taking away tires and When i will not be responsible for just about any traumas that will originate from hoping such methods.Let's start having wearing down an attempt kart race wheel primary. You will find several kinds of bead breakers created to accomplish this task like the RLV bead breaker or perhaps the actual L. D. bead breaker we advertise. Some sort of RLV bead breaker appears to be a good deal greater yet the hefty responsibility bead breaker definitely operates far better.This task will likely be simpler should the particular fatigue can be quite scorching or perhaps no less than comfy. In the event you will not have an the oven as well as wheel package to warmth a new roll way up, even applying tire in the lively sun for getting a great despite the fact that might help. Initial, deflate wheel and also get rid of control device primary thoroughly along with location key in just a guarded position whenever you won't need to probable need it again until finally you've got a brand new tire positioned from the tire.Up coming, find out that part of tyre could possibly be the short facet. Most of the moment the reduced aspect will be the inside of (facet without having valve base) associated with tyre. Area wheel with bead breaker using the reduced facet handling up. Transform bead breaker to match the actual size controls you have and drive wheel away from bead. Use steering wheel in excess of along with repeat process for the adtdiional element.That was the easy element. Currently you need to purchase roll down tyre. You will find there's strategy in order to starting this with no employing wheel golf irons. That simply requires a few process to have the hold of the usb ports. Even so the time one does receive the hang of computer people may be able to remove some sort of tire with out endangering problems for the tire or maybe tire which you may possibly be jeopardizing in case you work with tire golf irons. With all the on the inside of in the wheel, roll the most notable through the fatigue inward, providing the underside wheel bead prolong itself in the rim. Get the continuous bead as well as over time do the job the wheel off of the side before the total bead has grown to be removed over the casing.Right now, use exhaust as well as tire in relation to and also force the rim on a little floor covering from in regards to 45 level angle. Maintain casing using the quit give and also use your current suitable the company to gradually perform the outside bead over the medial side associated with surface within the edge. This method does find some apply at get the suspend of it. Should you are not able to obtain tire away from using this method subsequently this is the obvious way to practice it hiring roll golf irons, or, nirvana forbid, screwdrivers.Right after breaking similarly beans position the particular tyre upon each connected with carpeting with the device aspect decrease. Force 1 border associated with fatigue towards slender midsection section of tire Find the wheel metal and location the item within the different element along with yank lower. You need to and the second roll straightener as well as complete precisely the same matter. Any time you've got regarding 50 % with the bead in relation to the rest of the exhaust have to yank over yourself, Use exhaust in adtdiion to controls in excess of with the various other edge could be pulled apart away personally. Possibly be cautious never to ruin your borders associated with casing or perhaps the particular bead involving roll if working with roll all over again. In case you are generally tossing fatigue, you won't need to fear in which.At this point, onto increasing the rushing move kart roll about the 1 portion proceed kart auto racing tire. To achieve this pastime you will definitely demand a exhaust mounting band or maybe fatigue music group as they have reached times called. You will discover a pair of fundamental kinds, a particular could be a Ratchet vogue fatigue group plus the other generally is a Screw kind fatigue music group. We have employed each in adtdiion to got zero problems with each. You will also require a great fresh air compressor, effortlessly. Chance to find the using a compressor with no less than some sort of 20 gallon aquarium on there. Ahead of beginning to inflate fatigue release a number of oxygen until lastly compressor kicks on, this way fish tank is very full.Now's the actual time for it to heat wheel in the event you possess a tactic in achieving this. Temperature purely is the plastic gentler, as a result less difficult to grow. Pursuing guarantee device key will be applied for by controls. Don't forget THIS KIND OF! Identify the harder small borders inside wheel side. Use many of the occasion this would function as in border regarding controls. Most Douglas added wheels have got identical aspect lips however whenever you appear closely a single lips is slimmer compared to the some other as well as the edge is actually adtdiional rounded. That scaled-down advantage is definitely the edge you may fall exhaust over initial..It truly is now lubricant moment. Use something slick in order to lubricant the sides associated with controls and also wheel. I've truly utilised exhaust snot, dishwashing liquefied, Simple Natural, WD-40, in adtdiion to Greased Super. Avoid getting lube round the in tire as much as you are able to. Spot tyre on a sparring floor or perhaps pice connected with floor covering involving the hips. Keep roll for example you would a new tyre and also force it against controls on in regards to 45 amount angle to ensure that this bead connections the particular tire at 2 components. Now push the actual fatigue on to the wheel. The primary few times you do this you can most likely be using brute push to accomplish this action. When you have performed this specific many instances you will find the secret to success and you will can be used to make this happen devoid of breaking any sweating. Change wheel and controls concerning and do practice for various other element.Region fatigue in adtdiion to tire in th exhaust installation band.

Under no circumstances employ wedding band along with start end experiencing upwards as well as your deal with ideal over it. When exhaust hits your handle can be bread toasted. Lay down roll wedding ring on ground upon it happens to be side together with available comes to an end struggling with quit in adtdiion to ideal instead of up and down. Together with from ahead in the open upward ends, and also each sides of wheel in adtdiion to wheel lubed up, link and start water removal the environment into it. Whenever exhaust finalizes upon bead you may focus on a very loud POP, that could almost allow you to be move with your slacks. Tend not to stop pumping air as soon as you find out the original take. Keep water removal atmosphere with it soon you pay attention to the second CROP UP. Discharge air the minute anyone listen to another location TAKE. And since you remembered to clear out control device primary, all air flow will release immediately.
