Wednesday

Today was our cultural day.

We spent the morning in classroom talking with the students about our countries and their cultures.

Our students taught the Tanzanian students a variety of different languages from Spanish, German and Chinese. And the Tanzanian taught us some Swahili! The Tanzanian's were very interested in our marriage cultures.

After lunch we walked with 8 Tanzanian student's to one of their homes, where we were very kindly shown around. We saw the live stock that they keep and all the crops that they grow. We were given gifts of a papya and a handmade broom weaved from grass.

All the students had a lot of fun. The girls found it very funny to discuss how many cows they could demand for marriage!

After an evening's lecture, our students went to help the local student's with their homework. .. not entirely sure how much work got done, there seemed to be a lot of singing and dancing!

And how could I forget we saw monkeys, and hornbills!
