Fin.


My last few days in Lesoit I was introduced to the students Chris would be teaching for the larger remainder of his trip. I traveled to the schools with him early in the morning. These two days would serve as a brief series of summer school sessions. It would be my first time trying my hand at teaching which was all too exciting and interesting being the first days we had to use charcoal for chalk, on a black board, which actually was really effective, that is if you had the right piece of charcoal.


Farewell to my masai friends; Franks Family and friends.
We began to teach them Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Three subjects which weren’t easy to dive into especially considering our limited skills in Swahili. Although these days were fun; bonding, tutoring, and learning with the students, it was very clear how difficult the days ahead would be for my friend, I had the easy way out, a 18 hour plane trip back to the states in another day.
 
Special Thanks:
Overall, my trip to Tanzania was amazing and ultimately indescribable, though I dedicated this blog to doing so. I owe the amazing time I had in Tanzania to my peers! ; Ali Anger, Bruce Winters, Haley Rademacher, Katie Picket, Brooke Farrell, Kaka Jay, Jessie Fredlund, Molly Ryan, and Laura Damon. Sorry I didn’t write more about you guys! Forgive my Laziness! To my house Mother and Brother Mama Mganga, and Juliuis,

 My teachers; Gaudentia Lwakatare, Deo Ngonyani, and Joachim Kisanji Thanks for working through my immaturity! my close friend Chris-let’s grab a drink this weekend!, and finally, last but most certainly not least to Mrs. Askew who I owe the entire trip to. So in my opinion it’s only right that I dedicate this blog to them, who facilitated the sum of my experiences and work during my study abroad, I send my greatest appreciation, Thank you. And thank you all for reading! Stay tuned.
