9th July

Hello from Tanzania, or Jambo as we now say,

We have all arrived safe and sound, got to camp at about 3am and finally got to bed for some much needed sleep at 4.

We were up at 9 this morning for breakfast, which was followed by a camp orientation...I can't imagine why they didn't do it at 3am...!! This gave us chance to meet all of the staff, and they also talked us through the plan for our time at Camp Mbokomu.

We then walked to the school we will be working at for the next 3 days, and learnt that we will be laying a concrete floor in a classroom that is undergoing renovation. With it being Saturday there were only a few children around, but come Monday morning we will get to meet all of the students at the school.

We have just arrived back at camp for some lunch, which will be followed by a Swahili lesson(!!), then a village orientation..a walk around the village and meeting the locals.

And even more good news, after a cloudy start the sun is out...yay!

Speak soon!

Mr Lister
