About

This summer I will journey to Tanzania to volunteer at an orphanage. In theory, I will be teaching, but I suspect I will do more learning!

Update: When I said my farewells last summer, I honestly believed that I would not return to the orphanage and for weeks nursed a broken heart. All year I still lacked the sense of purposefulness I experienced at the orphanage. When I realized I had frequent flyer miles, a six week window of time this summer and limited responsibilities, I seized the opportunity to return.

Technically this blog, like my trip, is a sequel. I am not venturing into the unknown but revisiting a place in the world and a place in my heart. Personally, I usually prefer the original to a sequel. I still have a lot to learn about Tanzania and myself and I hope all will live up to the hype. So Karibu Tena (Welcome Again).
