Tanzania: Day 2 - Goba

From Tanzania 2012

Today we had about a one-hour drive outside of the city into an even more rural school setting than yesterday.

We arrived at the site in Goba to see the children in their uniforms sweeping the sandy ground with their brooms made of sticks, though all had frequent pauses to check out the set up of the day to come.

Today was a special day for the students of this school and those of another school to be the receiving their bedkits. It was also a special day for Mama Wandoa as this was her 12^th year (to the day) of distributing bedkits in Tanzania with Sleeping Children.

We also had one of our team members, Marilyn, celebrating her birthday, with "Happy Birthday" sung to her by some very eager students. The students also sung their ABC's (a variation of the version Canadian students sing), the Tanzania national anthem, and they taught us how to count to ten in swahali - a very happy group today.

Until tomorrow - kwa heri!
