First 3 weeks in Africa


Once a week our language and cross cultural group of five people meet up with the rest of the volunteers in training for health and safety seminars. This week also dug garden beds and planted corn and beans for the research center. Our leaders have so much enthusiasm, motivation and knowledge to share with us. This picture was taken after our usual meal of beans and rice, with either a side of spinach or cabbage.





This is the agricultural research center where we will be doing our training for sustainable farming systems.
Our first visit to the market, filled with kids playing soccer, fresh fruit, fish, and vegetables.

We love and miss you all!!!
We'll be in touch!

Wyatt and DeeDee

DD and Wyatt,
How are you guys? Awesome pictures! DD, your hair is short. I love it!
So...just realized Lorin's brother is going to be living and going to a small school at the base of Morogoro. Which looks like it will be about 20-40 miles away from where you will be living. That's awesome cause we are planning to visit his brother next summer...and of course you, if there's some free time from your life. Sweet life! I will give you his information in case you ever cross paths.
Take care
Love,
Jillian
