Hi all, just a quick update - it is getting much hotter and much dustier in Moshi, but we did get some rain this week.  The rain is good for cooling things off but makes the clay soil very slippery so it definitely makes walking around an adventure.

I am continuing to work mainly in small groups with kids on reading basic Swahili and doing basic math.  I enjoy it and the kids are eager learners who (mostly) are making good progress.  Thank God that Swahili is a phonetically regular language - each letter only makes one sound so it's very easy to teach even though I am still learning the basics myself.  

I continue to enjoy living in Moshi, especially since the Americans who work here at Amani have taken to getting together occasionally and cooking "wazungu food" such as macaroni and cheese or pizza.  That makes life a little more like home.
