Welcome to Tanzania!
From the Great Lakes countries of America to the Great Lakes countries of Africa, stay updated with my travels and experiences as I study in the MPH program at Muhimbili University. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!
Lydia,
I really enjoy your blog. You tell the story so well I “feel” the rain, and the CRUNCH of the people packed on the bus.
I am with Holland (Noon) Rotary…my wife Mary & I took you to Big Rapids for your interview.
Hopefully this experience will assist you in doing great things that will help you grow personally/professionally, and make the world abetter place.
We look forward to having you return to tell us first hand of you study ay D
Muhimbili and your experiences.
Regards,
Jerry & Mary Hunsburger

Hi Jerry and Mary,
Yes I definitely remember you both – I hope you both are well!
Glad you are enjoying the blog. I relaly enjoy writing when I have some spare time, which is not common. I am definitely enjoying my experience here and though some things riding the bus is difficult, I have learned more about Tz and people in general by being a participative observer.
And i cannot wait to present my experiences when I return!
See you in a couple months,
Lydia

Hi Bev,
Sorry, but I do not have a contact or number for Urafiki Textile Factory. My school set up the site visit and it was only a couple hours. I hope that you are able to find one though!
