1st day in Tanzania

After a long flight into Tanzania from Amsterdam, we got off the plane and we were warmly greeted by our hosts from Hananasif. We made it!
I got to see several of my friends that were here two years ago when I came to Tanzania. They have all grown as much! One of my best friends here, Damas, and I got to talk a while today about where life has taken him in the last two years. He is the Headboy (school president) of the school. After being forced to start Form 3 (Junior year of high school) over again due to absences because of complications with a broken leg and other medical issues, Damas has adjusted back to school and continues to be very academically competitive.
We are getting adjusted to the time change and the food change. We get to eat with our hands every meal! Pretty great. For lunch we had ugali (a bland corn flour based cream of wheat) and red beans. For dinner we had rice and beans.
We head out to Shamba, the school, on Saturday to start surveying and digging the foundation.
Appreciate your prayers,
