Part of the challenge with a distribution
in a foreign country is trying to adapt to every situation possible. Today is
an example, as we had to reschedule the distribution because of a change in the
country’s exams for students entering secondary school. Children had to attend
class so, we started our journey…. with a field trip! It was a great
opportunity for us to learn more about the people, their culture and the
country of Tanzania.
We had the opportunity to meet Said, a
history teacher, mentor and also a fantastic guide that gave us a lot of
information about how African history evolved over the years. We tried many
different regional fruits and ate local typical food. We also explored the
spice fields filled with many of the well-known spices of Zanzibar. Our guide seemed
to know everyone on the island and it was amazing to see his genuine involvement
with local citizens in need.
During the day, we learned so much, and as
nothing happens for nothing, we will be more knowledgeable about the children’s
reality for our first day of distribution tomorrow.
