Home Sweet Home

Today after breakfast we returned to Mwangaza.  It was wonderful to have Allen pick us up at Peace House and to know that we would be with our family again for the weekend.  The volunteer coordinator also came by this morning to assure us that the house would be cleaned and sprayed prior to our return on Sunday.  To be sure of this, we took everything with us for the return trip.  Allen stopped at the supermarket for us.  While he guarded our luggage, we went through stride rite.  We bought cheese, spaghetti, sauce, water, and more Fanta Orange for the cans for our experiments.  Next week we will cook a little more for ourselves so we do not eat as much beans, cooked spinach, or ugali.  Grilled cheese, French toast, and spaghetti next week.  Upon arriving at Mwangaza, we had a lovely tea time and shared stories with the management team and Mwangaza volunteers.  They really enjoyed our stories of the time spent at Peace House.  It was a very good meeting.  Then it was time to go back to work.  Alexa and I finished the website lists for our teachers next week.  If anyone knows of a good site, please send it our way and we will gladly add it to the list.  We are weak in physics.  Kellee will be happy to know that we are sharing her directions for how to capture you tube videos with our participants.  We are hoping to walk up to the soccer fields in a few moments.  I think the Tanzanian weight loss plan is working but a nice long walk will certainly help out. I'm attaching one of my favorite photos of Mt. Meru from our front porch.  Kwaheri until this evening.  Almost forgot to mention that  a spider walked across the table while I was typing this at Mwangaza - Really God can you not give me a break here?
