Time is rapidly running out at internet cafe, so I will be very brief.
Had much much better morning. Mr Lugenge with me again, and translating, so kids understand lessons much better. He was extremely pleased after one lesson, and said I was an excellent and creative teacher, which it is reassuring to hear after a pretty difficult week.
I've taken a walk down our dirt road to use computer and buy some flour. One of the teachers is going to show us how to cook chipatis soon, and we want to bake a cake to take to the staffroom for break. No electricity or water, but a gas oven!
Attempting the walk through the forest to Enabuishu school this afternoon. Two volunteers have changed school to be there, so we are going over to have a 'karibu meal' (welcome meal).
Got lots more energy today. Ironically the other girls pretty exhausted!
Most go. My fantastic secretary will put a fuller account up when we next speak.

About Me
- Lucie
- Before going to the University of St Andrews to study Philosophy, I wanted to do something useful...so in January I will be a volunteer teacher in Tanzania for three months! I love music in all sorts of forms, and spend most of my time playing the piano, flute and singing. There is nothing nicer in the world than the smell of an old book, and snuggling up to read a good story. If the creative juices are flowing I do a bit of writing (mainly poetry) and painting. Although I love a deep philosophical discussion, I can frequently be found in the pubs of Pickering in a silly costume doing silly things!

You have packed so much into your first couple of weeks Lucie... don't overdo it! Your reflections on your early experiences and impressions are fascinating and sobering. Don't know what else to say except, those children are lucky to have you. Lots of love, Chris x
