the people & facilities are amazing…

Finally have a bit of time to write about where I am staying and who I’m here with!

Our project house is on the outskirts of Moshi town in an area called Msaranga on Umoja Street. (try to Google map it! 😊) It’s set back from the main road so is very quiet – apart from:

• the loud crickets
• the roosters waking us up around 5am
• a mad dog barking in the middle of the night
• the strong winds which seems to ‘arrive’ every night around 7-8pm

In spite of that, it’s totally amazing! We are staying in a lovely building, with some great outdoor space for eating, relaxing, prepping for school and socialising.

I started here at the same time as two other volunteers – Kate from New Zealand and Andy from England (pic below) – and luckily we get on really well. And this weekend we are off on safari together – cannot wait!

The team here at the project are so great as well. The company is called African Impact and they have many projects around Africa – the setup here in Moshi is really great and professional. More about them in a later post – mainly because I really want to share their pictures and I don’t have any of them yet 😀
