Hey "Whomever Actually Reads This"! Here's my contribution to the Amani newsletter. I wrote it about my experience in Arusha with one of our social workers (see earlier blog). Confronting Homelessness A night on the street with Amani's Street Educator. During the day, Arusha is a pulsing tornado of hustling pedestrians and blaring car horns set against a glittering skyline of tin-roofed shanties and countless windowed storefronts. As night descends, the cars and people recede into the fading sunlight and out from the shadows come the children who call the streets home, searching [View Full Entry]

Flava Yo Tang Thursday was my day to head out to the capitol city of Arusha to walk the night streets in search of children. It was a day that I had been both excited for and fearful of. Excited because I had never really had an opportunity to walk in a third world's slumbering nightmare, and fearful because I was a white person who was going to walk in a third world's slumbering nightmare.

Mambo poa, rafikis? I have officially begun my time at Amani Center. Upon first arrival, one notices a bunch of smiling children running around with soccer balls and pencils. It looks like any other school, except most of the kids are barefoot. I started my orientation, meeting with all of the other teachers and visiting all of the classrooms. The first day was easy, I spent most of my time getting to know everyone and did not really spend too much time with the kids. The one thing that I noticed was...everyone speaks Swahili.

Today is a dark day as I perform that which I swore I would never do. I am blogging. It just sounds wrong. But I am far too lazy to respond to individual emails and messages, so this was the easiest route. Do not fret, I will keep things short. So, join me on this magical adventure into the lowest form of written word, wont you? (FYI, this site will not allow me to do apostrophes, so I have opted to simply skip them.
