Hello everyone!
It's KK, Rachael, and Mandy! We are currently sitting in the office of CEFA ( pronounced not see-fa, chef-fa). We just got back form Kunduchi Beach. It's B-E-A utiful there! White sand, clear water, radiant sunshine, and soda in glass bottles? Salama, peace.
Today was a LOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGGGG day. It all started when we woke up before the sun to get ready for church. Yes, it's was early. We left the hostel at 6:15 to go to the church at Muhimbili Hospital. It was a mass like no other. The room was jam packed, there were at least 7 songs with three verses each, and mass was in Kiswahili. It was a traditional African mass with dancing and clapping and music and a complete sense of community. They even welcomed us when Father Jalbert introduced us to the whole congregation.
After we went to an ebony market. The carvings were beautiful, but the market was really very chaotic. Everyone wanted us to enter their shops, calling out "Looking is free..., karibu". Needless to say it was awesome, in the words of Mandy :]. After it was a quick stop back at the hostel for lunch. We had mangoes for dessert, it was delicioouusss! I (KK) made a complete mess of one of my white shirts... sorry Mom, but it was totally worth it.
After lunch it was off to the beach for sun, sun, and more sun. And now we're relaxing, waiting for dinner, getting ready for tomorrow's lessons.
Ta ta for now,

Mandy, Rachael, and KK :]
Thanks for reading guys!

It is so nice to hear of everything you guy are accomplishing in Africa. I couldn't possibly think of a better group of people to work so hard and make a difference in these kids lives. Keep having fun and learning from the kids as much as they are learning from you.
