I don't have much to add since the last entry, but I'm trying to post up some more pictures, so that's the point of this entry.
Most of the other volunteers all left to to go their respective villages this morning, so there are only six international volunteers left here in town at the moment because we are all partner-less - myself and two others because our partners were expelled, and three other who didn't have partners to begin with because there was a shortage of female Tanzanian volunteers to begin with.
Last weekend a few of us went to the Ismila Stone Age site just outside Iringa for the day, an amazingly strange but beautiful place made by wind and clay erosion. Check out the pictures (if they ever upload!)..
Ukumbi Village
.So now we're back to Swahili school for a few hours every day while the newly recruited Tanzanian volunteers are being trained. The plan is to leave for village next Wednesday, all being well. We'll be having some group exercises tomorrow and Friday to get to know our Tanzanian counterparts better, then everyone submits their partner preferences on Saturday.
I'll let you know how it goes...!
love,
dipak
