While you'll be hearing lots more about it in the coming weeks, I just wanted to post a quick update about our trip. We got a lot of stuff done, from surveys and soil samples for school assessment to adding tank coverings and adding new taps to the water system. Plus we were able to make progress on other initiatives too such as a microfinance project, our visual penpal program and health surveys(which showed some excellent improvement in health, assumed to be in part to their new access to clean water).
There was plenty of fun too, from a soccer game vs. the school's all-star team during a rainstorm, to navigating the markets in Nairobi. It was a blast!
Again, look for lots more about the trip once our team(me included) shakes off their jetlag and can actually process this amazing experience.
Awesome! Are we really starting a microfinance initiative too? That would be so awesome. I got to help with the American end of the visual penpal project, and can't wait to see what the kids in Tanzania drew!
