Thursday, July 12th: Power Outages

This is just a small post dedicated to Tanzania’s power outages. The power has been on and off this week, and up until now, it has been off for 2 days. The power goes out probably at least once a week, sometimes for a few hours or a day. No one really knows why, and no one really complains. They just get their flashlights and candles out and go on with their lives. Luckily my school has a backup generator, but there is no such thing at home. I’ve become pretty used to it by now, and dinner by candlelight can be fun… Until someone knocks the candle into the stew…
