Week 22 at School

Thank you to everyone who has contacted us over the last two weeks.  I believe I have responded to each and every email, but if I didn't please accept my thanks for your kind words.

Denise flies home (Arusha) on Monday and I'm looking forward to that although I know she will probably sleep for two days once she gets back.

On to the good stuff...the blog

Week 21 at School

Something I received this week that thought I would share with you was an email to consider the Say No to Ivory campaign http://www.iworry.org/

Also for all those interested in how Ajabu is coming along you can check out her progress at

Now on to our activities and the enjoyable parts from last weekend.

As Tanzania celebrates the end of Ramadan we got a four day weekend, so on Wednesday at 5pm we began our long weekend trip away with two of the other volunteers.

The weekend was fantastic for company, scenery and wildlife.

RIP Lyn

Some more bad news, Denise's Mum passed away on Monday.  She had a fall and hit her head, and never regained consciousness.

Denise is currently on her way home for 2 weeks.

There has also been some good news finally, one of our nieces became a mummy yesterday or today.

I promise I will TRY to bring good news again in the next blog.

RIP Kelly

It is with much sadness that we were advised of the passing of Denise's dad, Kelly, on Thursday.

We are currently traveling with friends in the Moshi area which has proved a great distraction.

I will post an update of the trip next week.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kelly's family and all who knew him.

Week 19 at School

Hi All,

My wonderful husband has allowed me to give you an insight into my life at the school. Although not as hectic as the young Pete, it is an adventure all the same.
