We spent the weekend in Arusha and on safari at Ngorongoro and Tarangire with the Duke Engage LTP (Literacy Through Photography) students. They are doing really amazing things with kids in Arusha, and definitely gave us some good ideas of how to engage our students through art and expressive thinking.
Glad to return to Marangu where things are quiet and we are familiar faces. I finally felt comfortable enough to go on a run through town. It was incredible. As I ran through central town kids started running with me, mamas cheered me on, and the taxi drivers yelled my name. I am reading The Unheard, a story about a deaf author finding home in a rural African village. I am finding that I can really relate to his experiences and those initial feelings that you are being welcomed in a village or culture so different than your own.
