« Teaching in rural Arusha! | Main | School teaching completed »
Our last week
We met yesterday with Dr. Mhando and Mrs. Mhando to discuss providing scholarships again for some students. Medoutreach 2004 was able (with the help of their supporters) to send five children to school for the four years of highschool. We are hoping to do something similar this year.
After meeting at the Mhando's, we rushed out to Tengeru village to visit our friend Jonas from CCF Maji ya Chai. He has helped 
us immensely with our work at CCF. His family invited us all to dinner. Jonas' family does not appear to have very much at all, yet he is still spending a year of his life to volunteer at CCF. It's really amazing to see someone giving so much when they are barely getting along themselves.
Today, I went out to the SDA clinic to do some dentistry. I saw about six patients and treated them in a partially Canadian - partially Tanzanian sort of way. It was great to finally be able to do a restoration on someone instead of just yanking out teeth like they so often do. And oh man isn't presribing drugs a whole new ballgame!
The rest of the team was teaching at various places today, and I believe we will all be teaching together tomorrow afternoon, and we will be split up tomorrow between a school and Bondeni I believe.

Hello to Adam and the medoutreach team.
We can't believe that your time in Africa is almost over.
Where did the time go.
I am quite sure that your experience there has been worth it. It sounds that you have made many wonderful friends and that the children adore you all.
What a wonderful experience for you to actually participate in these people's lives, and that you have made a difference in theirs.
Looking forward to hearing some of Adam's stories.
Must go, A safe journey to you all on your return home.
