Hola! So glad you made it there safely! Been thinking about you and love to read your blog! Thanks for keeping it up and adding so many pictures. You made me laugh with your story about being lost in the village! :) We got Lindsey's ears pierced yesterday! Let me know if you are receiving emails. Take care!
HAKUNA MATATA Hi Joanna,
HAKUNA MATATA (don't worry.... be happy).
I think what you are doing is really cool...and thank you so much for the stories and photos.
Just out of curiosity....does Paulo or Sammy wear sandles made made out of car tires???
If you get a chance, try to get to Dar and get the ferry to Zanzibar......it's got the best beaches at the north of the island...just a cab fare from StoneTown.
Good luck

Food Pics Yes, we so HAVE been expecting some food photos from you! Oh my, your job seems monumental, fifty-six children and no running water! Any complaints I might have had about my life have been cut short. Thanks for putting things into perspective. Hope you get your luggage soon. xxxooo
Glad you got your bag cuz. Your Mum and Dad and I were discussing all sorts of retrieval methods yesterday. Love the photos too and am looking forward to trying out this new dance youve been learning at the Brodick Bar when you return. Proclaimers gig next week on Arran. Will let you know how it goes xxx
Hooray Soooooooooooooo glad you got your bag, as I know how much time / effort went in to selecting the contents. BA sent me an e mail admitting that they need to improve their baggage handling at Heathrow!
Hopefully you can now get on with the job you went to do

Thanks Hi Gavin. I do remember Fraser! I think he may have been in my sister's year. Thanks for all of your support for this trip. I will see you in May, 3 days before I fly! Joanna.
Good Luck You wont know me Joanne but my son was at school with you. Perhaps you remember Fraser Graham who is now working in Salt lake City, Utah. He left for USA about the same time as you to work for Microsoft.
Anyway good luck with your venture and our Rotary club was delighted to start the ball rolling with our Coffee Morning.

Hi
I am a 28 year old female from Scotland. Having lived and worked in the States for the past 5 or 6 years, I am preparing to embark on a 9-month trip to East Africa. I will be volunteering in 3 different countries, for 3 months in each. In Tanzania - at Sharom Orphan Centre. In Uganda - on an Outreach-to-children program. In Malawi - at the Monkey Bay Community Hospital. A life-changing adventure awaits! I am recording this adventure for memories for myself and for entertainment and/or information on my experiences and whereabouts for anyone else who is interested! Wish me luck!... full info
