Greetings,

I'm glad to say that I arrived in Nairobi safely yesterday having left Arusha at 8am. 

I am beyond grateful for the experiences I had in Arusha and they have changed me for the better. Although it took a while to adjust to the weather and atmosphere, I eventually got used to it.

The experiences at the orphanage will always stay with me. I was touched by the children’s' spirit since they are still very innocent about their circumstances. I was glad to have chosen to teach the youngest (2-5yr olds) children.

They truly inspired me to work harder in life and not take it for granted. The teachers were very dedicated and they allowed me to improve my work ethic and stay devoted under tough circumstances so I truly pray for them and thank them for their inspiration. I did talk to Faraja about setting clear boundaries between his authority and volunteers so in the future everyone knows what is asked of them and where to draw the line. He has truly inspired me with his work and I will forever thank him for his dedication to the children's welfare and their families. My student's families were very kind and inviting and I felt part of their families since they were very welcoming.

We tried helping the best we could with donations but I hope more people will come through. I will definitely get my peers in touch with MICATZ on volunteer opportunities.

I really enjoyed Christopher's company and he really went out of his way to help me settle and get around. It was understandable that we had to make changes when we moved to Usa although it wasn't easy staying there since it was too far. I'm glad we moved back to Sanawari

 since it was much more convenient to get around town from there. I really enjoyed the food so give many thanks to Stephan since he is a very talented chef. 

I really enjoyed my stay and hope to visit Tanzania again since I have now learned so much about it. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have so feel free to keep in touch any time. Once again, I am very thankful for everything you have helped us with.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Muyia
