Tanzania: Mji Mpya

Another early start, this morning we set out to Mji Mpya.  The school we visited was new, replacing a former school that was damage in a major flood years ago.  In the flood, many families lost their homes as well, so the community is now underway to re-build what they lost.

We distributed a total of 750 bedkits today.  The distribution went smoothly even when we were faced with a brief downpour.  Undeterred, we set up the equipment when the sky cleared, and completed taking photos of the children, including one photo that had 80 children, for an 80th birthday! We also were fortunate to enjoy hearing the students sing their national anthem.


We ended the day by  saying goodbye for the weekend to our overseas volunteer partners and goodbye to the children who now have new bedkits to go with their new school and homes.
