Steve, live via satalite from tanzania
hello, hello,
am I coming in clear?
do you read me, over?
I am writing to you all from Arusha, tanzania -- the flights were tiring but fine, and are now over. I arrived this morning and am currently getting a tour of the city by my orientation coordinator, Elias.
It's a very nice place so far -- a lot more like ghana than i thought it would be. It's like in the 70's, so not as hot as i imagined though.
Hey, my group home, at least the one i'll be staying in for the next couple of weeks until i land a placement, is right next door to a bar/discotech -- neat, eh? also, i get to start INTENSIVE kiswahili training tuesday. yay! i am so excited to actually for once learn a langauge, like, actually learn it, not just take an intro course and drop it afterwards.
My coordinator has spent most of the day so far (before he took me to his office where we are now both emailing friends) explaining to his friends and aquantiences and nearby strangers that i am not here to see animals or buy trinkets, but to volunteer. which he does as we walk around the city. he's now off to show me the market whnever he finishes whatever it is he's tpying over there.
I hope you are all very well -- Sarah, what's the news with your internship situation?
