| October 9, 2017 | – From August 19, 2017 in Tanzania, Africa – As this was our last day with the teachers of Step-by-Step Learning Centre, we had a lot to wrap up! We needed to review all the information we already taught, and plan for the future together. We spent the morning organizing […]
| September 20, 2017 | – From August 18, 2017 in Tanzania, Africa – Well, it was an interesting start to the day to say the least. I blew a fuse at L’Oasis lodge, sending the entire place into a light-flickering buzz, with sparks flying from the nearby electrical post. I figured it was a […]
| September 15, 2017 | – From August 17, 2017 in Tanzania, Africa – Time is moving quickly, and I’m trying to capture every moment with the students and teachers at SSLC. Though we’ve already made an impact with a great deal of knowledge exchanged, the potential is immense. To me, it seems as though […]
| September 13, 2017 | – From August 16, 2017 in Tanzania, Africa – Morning breakfast continues to fuel my body, but every day I’ve been counting on chai time at Step-by-Step Learning Centre for re-fuel. During the morning sessions with Step-by-Step students, our group takes a break for about 30 minutes to enjoy tea […]
| August 28, 2017 | – From August 15, 2017 in Tanzania, Africa – Mack’s SnoreBlocker earplugs are my saving grace. I only woke up once last night to dogs fighting around 2:30am, and then again around 5am to the rooster crowing. Yet, we all found our ways to breakfast, successfully greeting “habari asubuhi” to […]
| August 23, 2017 | – From August 14, 2017 in Tanzania, Africa – Our “good night’s rest” didn’t come so peacefully last night. Turns out, the dogs start fighting at 10PM, and continue until 4AM, when there’s a slow transition from dogs barking to roosters crowing. I think the roosters are confused, because I’m […]
| August 13, 2017 | I can’t really do much complaining about my travels to Tanzania. There was something comforting about solo travel to a familiar place. Despite the multiple delays from New York to Boston, and Boston to Amsterdam, my journey was still relatively stress-free. Now contrast this to the 13-hour layover in Ethiopia, […]
| August 12, 2017 | Through the divine combination of manifestation and hard work/determination, I have landed myself back in Tanzania! In April 2016, I promised I’d return to the place that shaped my professional career and broadened my horizons, inspiring me in ways I am still discovering. And… here I am, back in Arusha! […]
