You don't wont remember me as I was just one of a party that wandered into your school in Arusha the day before we went up Kili, one of the others took your details and has emailed us all with the blog details. I was impressed by what you'd done in Tanzania, I've been very touched reading this post. |

| 25th September 2007 Yalda | goat innards! - From: An image I will never forget Hey Joanna, Denise finally sent me the link to your blog so I thought i would take a quick look. I certainly wasnt expecting the blood drinking and goat innards! It certainly puts my intended trip to San Diego in 3 weeks time in its place, but I'll think of you when I'm next in Cass Street for a "real drink". Anyway, I'm sure you're having a fantastic time and I hope it continues that way. Its something most people will never experience (myself included as that entry has completely scared me off!). Speak to you soon and good luck!! xxx |
| 25th September 2007 Mindy | Hippy?? - From: The waterfall adventure and other stories Oh no... I worry for your mum, Jo. In one picture you have on a red tank top and a long flowy skirt.

| 25th September 2007 Mindy | Gross - From: An image I will never forget Ewww.. I felt sick just reading about The Goat Incident. I cannot imagine being in your situation and not barfing profusely. Way to be respectful, Jo. Ewwww.....! |
| 20th September 2007 Shawn Conrad | Loves Me Some Goat - From: An image I will never forget The next time I cannot figure out what to make for dinner I will go with goat. All of it. I am unsure if Iowa Meat Farms sells this, but I can always head out to the Ramona area for fresh goat. |

| 13th September 2007 Katherine | - From: The waterfall adventure and other stories I'll be expecting great things from you at our next karaoke night Joanna :) Have a fun weekend |
| 11th September 2007 Gina | hello! - From: Fancy some fresh guinea pig for dinner? Hey Joanna Glad you are doing well! Love the pictures! The onion field and river look gorgeous. Very crafty work with the shoe...:) |
| 7th September 2007 Christina | Me too! - From: Fancy some fresh guinea pig for dinner? Hey Joanna, I look at a map of the world whenever I read your blogs and it seems a smaller place. I always look forward to reading your adventures, and having a window on Africa through your pictures. XXXOOO Christina |
| 5th September 2007 Nicky | love it! - From: Fancy some fresh guinea pig for dinner? Hi Jo, great blog!! BIG thank you for visiting my school and for that picture. Oh, you make me miss them, everyone, everything and you so so much. Keep it going, girl! luv Nicky |
| 4th September 2007 Jim Russell | Love the Blog ! - From: Fancy some fresh guinea pig for dinner? Jo, I loved the blogs read them every week, I especially loved your fight with the bus conductor ! Just like Glasgow huh ? Take Care, Jim |
| 13th August 2007 Lisa | Thanks for the update! - From: Troubles in Tanzania Hey Joanna! Thanks for posting--I'm so glad I've found your blog! Crazy about Joakim...so sorry you have to go through that. I'm sorry to hear about Jenn and Kili, too--I know how much reaching the summit meant to her. Stupid Tanzanian mountains!! :) Have a GREAT extra month in Tanzania (Zanzibar included!), and if Helen's there now, tell her I said hey!! :) ~Lisa |
| 12th August 2007 Helen Ross | Teddies all packed - From: Troubles in Tanzania On my way on Tuesday so let's kick some ass as they say. Can't wait to see you again - more crying and a whole load of laughing no doubt. Got a case full of teddies - of the bear variety - and puzzles and not a lot else. Chocolate, cereal bars, camera charger, contact lens solution make up the rest - hope i'm not searched cos this could be hard to explain. |
| 7th August 2007 Helen Ross | Let's pull together - From: Nimerudi!!! Hi all Joannna's friends etc, I am returning to Arusha next week with the same concerns about Joanna's and my projects. We will put our heads together and see what we can come up with - my mind is buzzing with possibilities and I would like to suggest that anyone out there who knows anyone who would be prepared to sponsor LETOA/Faraja projects long term shouold make contact with one or other of us before I leave the UK Tuesday 14th. My thinking is that if there was a business - perhaps a travel company or health concern who would be prepared to invest what is actually not a huge amount of money to keep these projects running long term we would administer the money ourselves to ensure that it was used correctly and not mis-spent by the adults on the make. This is a problem throughout East Africa and is hard to stomach sometimes. If we all put our heads together maybe we can sort something out quickly, whilst Joanna is still in the country. I would love to take over the management of both projects as I had considered setting up my own ethically run project in the future - but this could work if we think positively. I can be contacted via email - helen.livingwithloss@ntlworld.com - or on the telephone - 0044 (0)116 2784689 - leave a message if I don't pick up - it's my work phone so can't speak when counselling. I have fingers crossed - dark chocolate, cereal bars, camera charger etc. packed and ready to go. Love Helen |
| 27th July 2007 Into_East_Africa | re. moses' armband - From: Pictures of Africa Not quite - he doesn't have enough cows |
| 26th July 2007 Mindy | Moses' Armband - From: Pictures of Africa Wearing Moses' armband, eh? Doesn't that mean you're now married to each other??? ;o) |
| 26th July 2007 Hazel | - From: Kids kids kids They all long adorable I hope you're not becoming too attached! |
| 25th July 2007 Denise | Parcel - From: Pictures of Africa Hey MoJo, just to let you know I posted a parcel today with a few goodies for the kids. It will probably take 15 days to get to you sent it by snail mail as it was quite heavy. You doing a fab job babe. hugs dee |
| 24th July 2007 cindy | question + love the pics! - From: Pictures of Africa Hi Joanna, It's cindy collins from your previous place of employment (must seem a world away, now!)... I just wanted to say I love reading your blog, thank you for posting all these interesting stories. You rock!!! Also, I wanted to send something for the kids, but then I thought it might be easier to contribute money toward your charity funds, that way you can buy whatever they need most (or heavy things like paper, that are hard to ship) - is there someone I could send a check to, that could deposit it into your account? (My e-mail is cynthiac@(work)). You go, girl!!! :o) cindy (btw let us know if you want us to send you some mosquito repellant...) |
| 17th July 2007 Denise | Parcel - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Hey Jo. Planning to send a parcel of stuff for the school. Has anyone from the UK sent anything? If so by what means, general post, courier etc. Hugs dee x |
| 16th July 2007 Shawn Conrad | Hello From San Diego - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Just so you remember me I will say "How are youuuuuuuu?" in my best scottish accent. John Davies showed me your blog and I will watch your progress closely. I think this is a really great thing you are doing. I hope to muster the courage to do something similar in my lifetime. |
| 14th July 2007 Colette McGinty | Hey!! - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Hi Joanna - here's me thinking my Trans Siberian trip was pretty out there! Reading your blog helps me keep all the day to day crap in perspective - keep it comin! xx |
| 13th July 2007 Helen | OMG - From: Disgusting frogs and even more disgusting food Yum yum - I am really hungering after Ugali. Must remember to make some for the family - maybe after the graduation next week. I am cooking fish, chips and veggies just now - which would I like - Hmmm? Think about it. As for frogs in the socks - that beats lizards on the arm I reckon. I bet there was much shreiking and mayhem at that one. You sound like you are really working very hard - I hope you are taking care of yourself as well. Have a great time at the lodge - I am so envious. I keep looking art flights tpo see if I can get out again before you leave but they are so expensive it s not going to happen. Mike back now so will go and eat the DINNER. Love to all H |
| 12th July 2007 Gina | donations - From: Donations Joanna~ Have you received any packages yet using the address you provided? What are the sizes of the kids...do you have any idea? They look really young...are they all around a small/medium size for kids? I loved the story about the puzzle box! |
| 10th July 2007 Anne McGinty | Yo Jo - From: Out of Scotland Hey Jo, Nice to see your bloggy thing. Quite surprised I managed it actually. Me being the technophobe that I am.

Well Done, you!! Anne x:-) |
| 9th July 2007 Gina | stuff to send - From: "I had a farm in Africa" Hey Joanna~ What sort of candy do you think will last for the shipment out to Africa? Gum? Hard candy only?

| 6th July 2007 Mindy | - From: "I had a farm in Africa" Wow... sounds like very rewarding work. Well done, Jo. And, my... you've got quite a base tan going. Just a few more shades and you'll blend right in! Thanks for the address. |
| 6th July 2007 Helen Ross | An Acknowledgement - From: "I had a farm in Africa" I just want to say that I would like to acknowledge the generosity of all our friends and colleagues who donated money and items towards supporting this project as well as others. I think that it is important that people not directly connected with what is happening in Tanzania feel that their part, however small, is recognised and valued. So thanks everyone and I look forward to hearing about the grand opening |
| 6th July 2007 Julie Richardson | Address - From: "I had a farm in Africa" Joanna - I love reading about your work - keep it coming. Is the address above really where we can send packages - as then I would feel like I am a part of your work there. Thanks for taking on the world and your great stories. Julie Richardson (Gen-Probe) |
| 6th July 2007 Helen and Mike | How's the mad house? - From: Take the vegetarian to the moon How are things in the place of the sheep and the bulls that fight. We are really missing all the BB action - it seems very quiet back here in wet UK. Trying to sort out pix at the moment. Have been in touch with Mariah about all the happenings and weird outs in the house. How is the health of everyone???????? Is Lisa still spotty? Can't shift the rotton cold I came home with - which snotty individual passed it to me I wonder? Plenty to choose from I reckon. How are the new volunteers getting on at Faraja. Do tell them to contact us if they need any help or suggestions. Would love to hear how things are, especially with Luta. Still looking into how best to sponsor him safely - that the money goes to him and not into someone else's pocket. Problem to be sorted. Write soon. Take care. Love to al. Helen |
