Well done!!! You have changed...and for the better. Reentering life in the States will be more culture shock than when you went to Tanzania. When I returned to the States I had to study the fast food menus for minutes to see what they offered before ordering.
You've got this upcoming transition <3 Dearest Kate: Don't explain what you want or explain what you want--do and say whatever feels best to you and whatever you need as you're getting ready to leave for the U.S. and once you get here. And please know that anytime you want to go hike and say whatever you want to say or not say anything at all, I've got you <3
Two years in Tanzania I have vicariously enjoyed your stories and as I finished reading your latest blog entry I too felt a tear and a tug at my heart as you must say adieu. ❤️ GM
I hope that your treat of baked bread, to be shared among the women first, becomes inculturated... Maybe you can start a rumor that this kind of bread can only be eaten by women as it would cause the men to get sick. Best of wishes!
Can't lie, you don't look too sure about that ;-) Yeeaaah, you look a little skeptical about the lamb and octopus, ha, ha. Also, we see you all posing "casually" with your ring ;-) xoxoxo <3

My first thought and my second thought. Hi Sweetie,
I love to keep up with your adventures but this one was hard to read. I'm so sorry you are coming up against these problems. I want you to be safe, to grow, and to experience the satisfaction of making a difference. There are many things that can happen from here on out and I hope you will be safe no matter what. My first thought to fixing this issue with the boys was to put them to work. If they have something to focus on that gives them the means to help, help there community, their family, and show how able they are, they may fall right into place and be a blessing. However, not knowing the temperature of this situation and how volatile it is I can't gauge whether this is teenage crap or something more difficult. If you think something like work will help them, I am willing to send support for you to pay them in some way.
My second thought was maybe you can start a self defense class. When we teach this we also teach responsibility, and empowerment. They will see you as a force to not be messed with and a great teacher who they will respect and want to learn from.
I know you will do great things and make a difference. You are inspiring and doing something I always wanted to do. Buckle your seatbelt my dear and remember your Krav training. You are not someone to be messed with! Be safe!!
Welcome to TravelBlog! I've just stumbled across your blogs and loved them both! Sorry I laughed at your imagery of teddy in a bucket of boiling water :) I'm looking forward to reading more about your adventures with the furry and non-furry kids. Take care, Ren
Keep on Kate! I love reading about your journey. This one made me cry. You are very wise and strong. Just remember there are good days and bad days where ever you are. Life is a journey, an amazing adventure. Here's to the good day! ps, do they have wine there?
Love you, Kate! Love you, Kate! Thank you for sharing your experiences and for not sanitizing the experiences or your reactions to them. I am also really excited (no surprise) to hear more about your IPM workshop :-) What's the address to send you mail again? xoxo, Lynne
