Here are some pictures of Mwanza and our apartment. The first photo is of 'Toby', the gecko that haunts are apartment at night. The second and third photos are views from our apartment. We believe the metal roofing to be covering a market or shops of some kind, and the hill is across the main highway from us.The last picture is of our apartment building. We live on the third floor, and that is our laundry hanging outside. KIVULINI is located on the other half of the third floor, as well as in the lower right hand corner of the building (where they have a stationary store).
Sam and I are busy still getting settled, finalizing previous tasks from other interns, and learning the language. We have been helping out at a local orphanage (Fonelisco) on weekends, and we are starting more work with the Yogurt Mama's this afternoon.
Sam and I both realized that we have already been here a week and this has helped us guage how quickly our internship here will pass.
We promise to post more pictures of the Orphanage, the Yogurt project, and Mwanza very soon!
