Jambo
Ensworth Families,
It’s Abbey B. and Helen here! Today was our first work day at the Banjika
school. We had 2 three-hour work sessions which consisted of hole digging for
the septic tank, cement mixing, and plastering the bathroom walls. We are
embarrassingly out of shape (thanks EHS fitness department…jk) The Tanzanian
students and workers greatly showed us up, even though they are half our size.
They are really interested in how big Shomari and Nick are. At the end of the
day, we played a game that was fun and competitive.
In other news, Andrew and Blaire arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport, and they
will be with us tomorrow! Our hotel/lodge is heaven, despite dysfunctional
shower heads and no electricity.
Shoutouts
The Rue family – Happy belated birthday to David! P.s. – please bring my gray
Patagonia fleece when you get here. Can’t wait to see you! Miss you all.
The Bounds family – let’s be more careful when we shop at REI next time because
my towel is the size of a wash cloth and my sleep sack is thinner than tissue
paper. I love you & miss you all!
Mama D. and Dingess family- Doug is a fountain and not a drain. Miss you all!
Much
Love, Abbey and Helen
