I thought I would weigh in on this conversation. I'm just getting my
first break from the group to even be checking email, which is a sign
they are keeping extremely busy! So much has been accomplished
already. The workshop on Saturday with the teachers was remarkable.
The information was well-received and the teachers' enthusiasm was
palpable. The teens have been working endlessly on painting,
plastering, scrubbing walls, picking up trash, and of course, playing.
The head teacher looked at me yesterday with a big smile and said
"The entire school looks completely different after just a few hours!"
A few of the teens have already shared that this has been a life
changing experience. They recognize the happiness and joy in the
people here who have so much less than they do. They have told me how
much more grateful they think they need to be in their own lives.
It's been a wonderful experience thus far for everyone involved. As I
write this, the group is at the school conducting their first child
workshop with the youngest kids. I am sure they will update you on
that when they get a chance. Thank you all again, parents, for giving
your children this opportunity.
Many blessings from Tanzania,
Kim
