So sorry for the delay everyone, internet and electricity has been tricky and coordinating time. First off my assignment: I will be living on the plains below the Ngorongoro Crater (can see views from my school grounds where I will live like roaming elephants and fields of sunflowers) and in walking distance to Lake Manyara (Arusha Region). I will be teaching at a school with 883 students and 5 teachers including me. I will be teaching A-level Chemistry and Biology (first A-level Bio teacher for the Peace Corps TZ) and starting in three weeks (mind you most people get a month to settle in before they start teaching...I get 2 days). My house has four rooms and fruit trees. I've also inherited 2 cats.
Come visit me if you want to see the famous migrations of animals and see where life originated. I will be here and am not far from Mt. Kilimanjaro. Karibu sana. However I will not have electricity, pole sana, so send letters to contact or txt/call.
I'm in shadow week now, caused a slight riot on the bus and am doing science experiments all week.
finished internship teaching last week. I learned a lot and am preparing to start teaching soon. If you want to send me something here are some things I would appreciate:
Good chemistry book
Micro or Biology txt book
Spices
Soaps (shampoo, deordant, ect)
Chocolate chips
good pens
If I don't get to post again before swearing in on the 24th, Happy Thanksgiving and Karibu Sana!
Make sure you take lots and lots of pictures. You'll treasure them later. I'm so glad you're having this experience. Your students are going to love you.
