First off, how are you liking the star-filled sky as seen from the Tanzanian side of things?

Whoa, you went to the ICTR! I want to know EVERYTHING about it when you get back!!! Unfortunately, that's something I never got the chance to explore when I went to do that so all I can do is live vicariously through you...mwah!

It's neat to hear about your classroom experiences -- the stories you tell definitely remind me of some of the experiences I had in Monduli. At times I became frustrated with the system, but in hindsight I'm realizing I never had the right to feel that way.

Also, and I'm with Karen on this one, of course you're making a difference! Just by being you and by being present and radiating with your aura of fun-ness, you're definitely making a positive contribution to the children's schooling experience.

Keep up your high spirits, Darling, and have fun spending time with those giraffes!!

Lots of love and hugs!
