Biked around the island!

So, I have now lived at my site for about a month. So far its been great! Then recently I met a group who will be riding their bikes to Tanzania as a fundraiser for an orphanage. A few days ago they invited me and my colleague to join them on a bike ride around our island. So we actually went around the island on our bikes! It was amazing! every corner of the island looks very unique and different. Took us about 5 hours to go all around it but it was lots of fun with number of breaks.

Meet the team

Animals are part of the community here.

Animals here are part of the community and Goats are my favorite. Especially baby goats are dope to look at. So here are some photos I took of some of my favorite animals. I will take more so stay posted as you can find all kinds of animals here.

More about my site

So now I have been at site for more than 2 weeks and its great so far! Learning how to cook and turning my house into a home, which is not very easy! Schools just opened so I will be introducing myself and hope to start volunteering there soon. Right now my counter part and I are going around and introducing our selves to community leaders, clan elders, beach leaders, youth and women groups.

There was a crazy rain strom yesterday and since I have iron sheets as my roof I can hear everything. It’s a beautiful sound actually lol. But at least its not so hot any more!
