Here are the much anticipated pictures of the orphanage, Saa Nane Game Reserve Island and World Aids Day Parade. The last week has been very busy in preparation for World Aids Day and trying to make sure we get everything done in our last month in Mwanza.

We both couldn't believe that December came so quickly, but with the help of the Yogurt Mama's we managed to put together some signs and go with Kivulini to the World Aids Day Events. Sam and I marched along side the mama's out to a stadium where there was presentations, guest speakers, information booths, and live performers throughout the day. Although the day was held in Swahili, Sam and I travelled around introducing ourselves to the many organizations at the event.

The first picture is Sam and I on a very large boat. Our friends here in Mwanza built the boat and let Sam and I go on and explore yesterday afternoon (and we thought it was the perfect time for a good photo).

The next photo is of the World Aids Day Parade, then the lion at Saa Nane, and a picture of the children at Fonelisco during one of our English lessons.

Sam and I are starting english lessons with the Yogurt Mama's on Monday as they all have told us how they would like to learn more English as well. Sam and I are going to spend our last month teaching them English and trying to finish up all the mini projects we have started here in Mwanza.

We are having a beach Christmas blast on December 15th as a fundraiser for Western Heads East out at Tunza Lodge...We finally got everything up and running for it realizing event planning in Africa is not as easy as one might think :)

Hope the weather in Canada isn't too cold and that everyone is safe and doing well! Sam just got over her second time with Malaria and tomorrow we are going to get tested again (just to make sure it is out of both our systems).

Kwa Heri!
