Tanzania: Day 5

From Tanzania 2009 Photo Album

You might think that we were up at 5:30 as usual but in fact we were able to sleep in until 6 am. Yahoo! Our first challenge of the day was to get past the gates of the prison but the guards probably assumed that we were not local convicts. We required some minor assistance to find our distribution site. When we arrived, our second challenge was a record breaking mission. We were to include 100 children in a single donation picture. With some quick thinking and major organizing, we were more than successful and have the photos to prove it with 100 smiling faces and six relieved team members.

The rest of the day seemed slightly easier with more manageable numbers. We are working closely with the overseas volunteer team and they are proving to work just as hard as us to ensure that 700 children every day are leaving with a smile. This distribution day had a particularly enthusiastic crowd of onlookers who were standing in doorways and peering through windows to get in on the excitement.

We returned to our accomodations and realized that a small army of ants were more than willing to join us for the journey home. A bit of down time before heading out for dinner probably near the ocean.

We are officially half way there and we are rounding the bend. We are happy and healthy and will keep marching on.

Love, Team Tanzania 2009
