Clinic shaping up; paint on the ceiling, water in the taps, storage cupboard fitted and floor covering going down soon! Still lots to do, but beginning to look good.
Tanzanian people are so very proud; highlighted every day during my time here but more so in recent times when I visited Zanzibar for Sauti za Busara "Sounds of Wisdom", a music festival celebrating East African music and culture. The people of Zanzibar have had no power for the past three months; yet they still managed to pull of a fantastic music festival in an amazing fashion. The warmth and hospitality of Tanzanian people never ceases. The culture, the kiswahili language and the history are very strong.
Kesho Leo from the air! I had previously been told that when you fly from Arusha to Zanzibar you can see Kesho Leo. I was lucky enough to see for myself a couple of weeks ago. What a sight, apologise for the bad pictures but I did get a tad excited when I saw Kesho Leo and didnt take much time to think about the pic taking process.
Kids and colour; these were some of my first impressions of Kesho Leo on return from Zanzibar.
Characters involved with foodwatershelter; What a team! fws and Kesho Leo are certainly blessed to have these inspiring and hard working individuals involved. Simoni, Aggie and Masswai have such joyful, cheeky and genuine personalities; they always bring a smile to our faces at the vollage. Mudi and his family are very dedicated to everyone at Kesho Leo and always supportive of the community, Kesho Leo residents and volunteers.
Mamas sewing: I am so very proud of the Kesho Leo Mamas and how they have embraced sewing. It has been difficult for them to be learning on machines that are not of great quality; something that has at times made quality and quantity a bit tricky. However in the past couple of months the Mamas are really showing their creative flair, embracing the opportunity and many of them really understand that it is a business and a financial program of Kesho Leo. I think from the smiles on their faces you can really see that the Mamas love it. I also have loved sewing with them. I so look forward to seeing more of the Mamas creations in the future, the fabric here is just amazing and provides great scope for some unique creations.
Village of Sinoni: Well, I dont really have many pics of our village. The experiences are not something easily captured in an image. However, it is amazing to feel to the warmth and atmosphere that this place possesses.
