Tanzania: Day 3

From Tanzania 2009 Photo Album

Up at 5 am. Out the door by 6 am. Arriving at 7:15, we drove 70 km north of Dar Es Salaam to Bagamoyo which was the centre of the East African slave trade.

There were four trucks unloading 700 mattresses and bedkits while Mama Wandoa was busy organizing the children for the distribution.

Lisa is our current swahili vocabulary coach. She's teaching us useful words/phrases such as si mama = stop, lala salama = sleep well, njo = come, asante = thank you, and asante sana = thank you very much. She is also teaching us our numbers from 1-10.

After a few afternoon pauses, we completed the distribution at 3 pm and explored more of the historical sites of Bagomoyo. Tomorrow we are looking forward to accompanying Mama Wandoa to church from 7 am to 9:30 am.

Special thanks to our coach Linda Webb.

Love to our family and friends from Tanzania Africa.

Team Tanzania 2009 (Bob, Dave, Gary, Linda, Lisa and Liz)
