Enjoying TZ

I've been enjoying my last few days in Tanzania so much I haven't taken time to blog. Sorry about that!

Yesterday, Anna and Marwa took me to Musoma. It is right on the beach of Lake Victoria and very beautiful (kupendeza!). We went to a little shop and purchased an animal batik and some cards made from fabric. I ate lunch at a buffet on the beach, feasting on the most delicious talapia I've ever tasted. We went to a flea market and then back to Gamasara. The night before was the first one had spent in town for a long time. When I arrived at Gamasara on Sunday evening, I received lots of hugs and kisses. It felt good to be home!

Today, I worked on finances most of the day. The fun part was paying the staff and giving them gifts from Dr. Lisa for their families. I was very popular!

I practiced painting sheep's noses, designed their tails, finalized Nativity costumes, and supervised the glitter painting of kings' crowns.

There's excitement in the air here at Gamasara! I love watching the kids get ready for the performance. An African slant on the Christmas story is very refreshing!
