Tanzania: Minazi Mirefu

From Tanzania 2010 Photos
Day 1

With cooperation from the weatherman and the strong organizational skills of Mama Wandoa and her team of volunteers, our first distribution at Minazi Mirefu was a huge success!

Bedkits were distributed to an enthusiastic, patient, and well-mannered group of seven hundred children. We were greeted at 7:30 am in the school courtyard with the Tanzanian national anthem, sung by two thousand students grades K-7.

The day ran smoothly, allowing for time spent entertaining and interacting with the school children. It goes without saying that many little ones will sleep well tonight (as well as a tired team of volunteers).

After a 5 am start (and with another one ahead of us) the team is off to bed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words – so here are another 10,000 words worth to show off a successful first day are in our photo album or our slideshow!

Lala salama. (Sleep well.)
