Hej
Its been two months now alot has happend during this time in the month of March we began going for school sessions at a school called EASCS,in the same month we have had an invitation to the scout Leaders meeting to facilitate bout H.I.V in relation to Drugs.
Am loving it working with Anna Linda and Moses though I must admit it has not been a bed of rose for us to get were we are now, in the beginning theirs was a lot of miscommunication I could not understand what sometimes Linda or Anna meant because of the Swedish interference and also our English me and Moses differed in meaning but with patience and supporting each other now we are able to understand each other. To a point were I have actually learnt some few Swedish words as “oro” which has the same meaning in my tribe (kikuyu) meaning having a bad feeling in the stomach. “Fika”, “Segt”, “hej”, “Hej då” and many more am yet to learn. Moses is a dancer who dances to cultural music and loves to spend his weekends at different cultural centers. While for Anna Linda and I love to go to the beach and enjoy to feel the cool sand in between our toes and just lay back for some sun during the weekends.
Tanzania In general is a good country that has friendly people, they are people who love visitors and take their time in knowing them explains the long chain of questions they have when they meet a new visitor. Their staple food in the coastal area is rice and beans. they have 120 sub tribes who most of them are Muslims. They have a certain norm of addressing of elders with respect while greeting them which is to bow a bit. All this things that I have learnt are cultures that differ from what we have back at home.
The I.O.G.T stuff has been more than supportive in all ways. Especially with questions about Tanzania, they are also very friendly the office atmosphere is comfortable and they are always willing to help us and involve us in their activities i.e. the scouts training that we attended last month that was very informative.
That will be all for now, next week Anna and I will be preparing for Arusha to work with Women and children in an Organization called WOCHIVI. While Linda and Moses remain to follow up on EASCS.
