Primary Schools

The first primary school we visited was Itula, there we handed out stationary to the students before teaching them maths, English as well as nursery rhymes. It was a very unique experience and the children thoroughly appreciated it, they also provided us with a snack of bread, eggs, tea and nuts. Shortly after that we took the bus over to Masebe where we were introduced to all the staff who made us feel warmly welcome. After the formalities we headed out onto the green and watched a talent show where the kids performed acrobatics, traditional dances and scout acts including brick breaking and karate.

We then travelled back to the Bible centre.   Daniel ...

Afterwards we unpacked all 27 of our donation bags, it was amazing to see how much people had given to this cause and we are overwhelmed by all the medical supplies, stationary, clothes and gifts we can now give out to the people of Tanzania! Reid particularly enjoyed being our model for bra measuring, as seen by the photos! After lunch, which was a mixture of rice, noodles, beef stew, plantain and vegetables, the Tanzanians from last year's inward came to visit for the afternoon with their teachers- it was so nice to see them all again and none of us could take the smiles off our faces! Whilst the RCCL meeting was occurri...
