November Update

OK – I apologise, I’ve been a bit slack.
What can I say – I’ve been having too much fun? Been too busy saving the world? That was a joke.
Anyway, here’s an update, not too much detail I’m afraid but I’ll make it a new year’s resolution to be better.

It’s been over three months since I arrived and I’m still as happy and settled as ever. I had a couple of ‘three month hangover’ days as I was warned before I came, but aside from the desperate need to go for a walk along the beach and be completely inconspicuous, I got off lightly.
Work has been wonderful – I spend half the time being communications manager, trying to navigate the temperamental internet connection with facebook, picasa and google mail. The other half I spend with the mamas and their sewing business, battling the roads of Arusha in the Land Rover full of veggies, or trying to think of new ways to make money locally. It’s challenging, fun and every day is different.
