Zanzibar Rest and Moshi Basketball

Lisa and Lindsey relax at a restaurant in Zanzibar.
Beautiful Zanzibar sunset.

Lisa Returns From Zanzibar

After three whole days of work, Lisa needed a vacation! So, she headed out to the tropical island of Zanzibar with our friends Lindsey and Liz Moore. Besides laying on the beautiful beaches, her highlights include:

• Having a bee in her drink and the bartender saying "why don't you just take it out and drink it anyway..."
• Liz getting to be co-pilot on the flight there
• Having a good time with two great friends

Moshi Basketball Weekend

Lisa returned on a Tuesday and on that Friday, we went to a basketball tournament in Moshi which is about 2 1/2 hours away. Our girls won both first and second place (the two teams played each other in the championship game! Our boys didn't fare so well, but they played with everything they had! Lisa and Peter coached and I got to be the referee. No, I didn't have to give either of them a technical foul or eject them from any games!

New Volunteers

We have new volunteers here to teach English - Allison and Juliet. Things I know about them - they like to run, they live in the other house, they are always happy. Hmmm... apparently I havn't rubbed off on them yet!

Goodbye!

This past week we said goodbye to Quinn (works for IEFT), Cindy (board member), Lizzy (shot video) and Brendon (took pictures). Thanks for the good times! Quinn should be able to sleep in now that she's not having to live in our living room!

Garden and other Ag Projects

The students have been busy working in the garden. I gave each student a plot to manage as they want. So far they seem pretty motivated! We're going to have a contest for the best gardener (individual) and grade. We're also working on getting projects going for goats, bees and rabbits. We have the chickens already...just need to start hatching some eggs with our incubator Jeff and Kim sent.
