Words Can Not Express

Wow

I'll leave it at that for now, I have to digest this evening we spent at a Tanzanian village of 3000 people. We ate traditional Tanzanian food, and witnessed traditional dancing, and participating in dancing as well. Unfortunately my camera ran out of batteries because I was taking so many videos, to be added as soon as I can get them uploaded.

Many of the children did not have shoes, and none of them attend school. They are hoping to find the means to build a school in their village, but it looks as though it may be many years before that happens.

The evening started as soon as we exited our cabs, with the entire village, mostly women and children greeting us with a very welcoming song and dance. This was followed by a long set of pictures where the children were very happy and anxious to both be in the pictures and see themselves in the pictures afterwords. There were probably 50-60 children and another 40 women and young people.

Next we were treated to traditional Tanzanian food. They watched us eat rice and beans, plantains, meat with peppers, rice, and some other greens. I'll have to follow up on the exact names of the food.

It was an amazing experience, one that I'm sure I'll never forget.
