Mama Greta - she is a beautiful soul. A strong woman who works with the children at Kili Kids. She has taught me so much about life, about Tanzania and their culture. She has taught me about the importance of uniting as a community and love. She is a dear friend whom I will always remember!
The above pictures are people in the villages whom I pass by while walking to my project each day. They are very friendly and welcoming.
Beautiful Mary - is one of the Hostel managers here at Hostel Hoff. I have spent hours chatting with her about her life, the people and culture of Tanzania. She is a beautiful lady and a dear friend.
Bahati - he is one of my favorite taxi drivers in Moshi. He helps me with my Swahili as I help him with his English. *You are guaranteed to laugh in his company.
The above pictures are children in the villages surrounding Kilikids. The boys on the left are grazing the cows and goats, the boy and girl in the middle are fetching water from the local spring and the girls on the right greeted us as we walked to our project. The children are typically very friendly, happy to see us and curious about us.
Happy Wanderer - unfortunately I forget his name, however this cheerful local sold me jewelry on the beach in Zanzibar. He was a friendly chap and even sang and danced for me.
Captain Joseph - regretfully I didn't take a picture of Captain Joseph, however we had a couple of nice conversations on the beach at Kendwa Rocks in Zanzibar. He taught me a lot about their culture and the dynamics of relationships and marriage.
Said - whom I met in Zanzibar has become a friend of mine. We have chatted about the culture and he has helped me with my Swahili.
I am grateful for the opportunity to get to know each of these new friends amongst many others. I feel deeply connected to the people and culture of Tanzania. I know in my heart I will be back here again!
