Hi Everyone! Big massive apologies for being the worst blogger ever and not having written for ages, but I have an excuse (honest lol). I wasn't all that well for a while, and things have been in turmol for a bit. I decided to leave Tukae early, because I was worried that if I didn't get better I wouldn't be well enough to do the four weeks in Moshi, and then I didn't really know what I would do. But anyway, I am starting to feel much better, which is definitel...

Hi everyone! I know it's been a while and I apologise, but I am living up a mountain with no elctricity, so please forgive me. I am down in Tanga for a long weekend, and so sometime on saturday I will get you a few photos up. For now I will fill you in a bit. Last friday we had the Amani Music Festival at the social club ni Amani. When I say social club you have to picture an iron fence, no roof, a stage and some benches. It was great fun, Ania and I sung with ...

Hi Everyone!! Sorry its taken so long but I've been up in the mountains with Tukae, and email (and electricity at all) are hard to come by.

It took a long time (because the car kept breaking down lol) so I didn't get there till about 8 at night. It really hit me the next day (when I could actually see) how ama...

Hi everyone. I'm writing now because I should be off to Emau with Tukae tomorrow, and then my blogs will become less frequent. I'm still having an amazing time, although getting 2 little people up and ready for school at 6 in the morning is tiring me out! Thursday is Aisha's day off anyway, so the other girl is coming this evening. I will still be there of course, it just won't be my job to do the cooking and so on. She scares me a bit, I don't think she likes ...

Hey everyone! I'm writing from Tanga (not where I planned to be, but the plans are a bit unclear at present) The girl who stays full time at the orphanage, Aisha, is unwell with malaria. I am looking after the boys in her place (and feeling like a mum well before my time) so I need to be here for a while longer, until she (hopefully) makes a full recovery. Malaria seems to be getting harder and harder to treat here, with lots of people suffering for a long tim...
