Jambo! A mini update from the African PA Tribe

Jambo! Yesterday we enjoyed a tour of the compound and took turns in the Bro mobile (which is Brother Anthony's Golf Cart). We seem to be mingling with the folks here just fine. Vanessa and Roxanne helped do a bit of shovelling, tossing cement into buckets with the Cement workers cheering on. The buckets once half filled were then placed on the women's heads to be carried away... which is amazing as that would snap a canadian born and bred neck. The food here has been good! Deanna at the beach a few days ago enjoyed a delicious Chicken Tikka pizza and we all loved the some sort of lentil or chick pea masala dish that we enjoyed at Dar Es Salam compound. On the way back from the orphanage as I carried little two and a half year old Pando, the Sister that was escorting us attempted to teach me various words in Swahili but all I caught was Drizz (Banana), Karibou sana (welcome very much), Quahari(bye), I am certain that I did not spell any of those words right but it is what they sound like when you pronounce them or attempt to like me :) Starting a new day today had french toast with Nutella, no one is starving here although some of us have a hard time drinking the water as it has an acquired taste.
