Greetings from Tanzania,

This is Tuesday night and the power just quit after being on for about 20 Minutes and I can’ see the keyboard. The team is doing well and having new experiences by the hour. Tonight we had dinner at the home of one of the teachers at Angel School. His enthusiasm and vision for an English speaking school was enjoyed by everyone.

The walls on the hostel are about 1/3rd completed. We hope tomorrow to complete another 1/3. Dave Pinkerton and his chimes have been a hit with the students. Some of them are doing very well.

Riding in the back of the truck on the road to Angel House is a challenge for those of us from the US. However, yesterday, the truck hauled 20high school students in back and 8 adults in the cab from Tarime to Angel House. The truck is a Toyota 100 extended cab with a small bed. The road is one long 2KM rut. The distance from the house where we are staying to Angel House is about 5 miles.

The weather has been similar to a summer day in Ohio. Heavy rain last night and thunderstorms in the area tonight.

Beth just emerged from her shower when the power went out leaving her in total darkness with a head full of soap. Our miners’ headlamps have seen a lot of use.

I had my first ride on a pikiki (motorcycle taxi) today. You hope he knows where he is going.

Judy, Beth and Dave were invited to teach at the Secondary Summer School Today. After the panic left, they set about devising lesson plans. They had a great time and were impressed with the faculty and students. The level of instruction was much higher than what we had heard is typical for Tanzania.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) we will work on the hostel, Dave is teaching chimes and we have been invited to lunch.
