The time has come… I’m leaving my homestay and moving to my
hospital tomorrow! School is winding down and we had our final Kiswahili exam
today (think it went alright!). I hung out with my colleagues a bunch these last
few days. Since we’re all being placed in different hospitals, I won’t see most
of them until our final conference August 18th! L
I’m also so sad to be leaving my homestay. Baba gave us
these cheesy T-shirts with lots of twiga (giraffes) on them. They also say “Karibu
Tanzania!” Needless to say, it’s my new favorite shirt. They also fed us… SO MUCH. Rice, chipati, lentils, stew, parachichi (since they
know that avocadoes are my absolute favorite!), and even… ICE CREAM!
I gave them some of their gifts too! I gave Baba two NY mugs
and some candy, Christina got Tupperware, new sponges, and a solar powered
dancing monkey, Brenda and baby James got a coloring book and one of the
robotic mice that my cousins, Sabrina and Samantha, let me take to Africa. Most
of my cousins’ donations will go to the orphanage at my hospital. Although… Brenda
is OBSESSED with this mouse! I'm so thankful for the time I've spent with my host family.
I’m a little nervous, but really excited about my hospital.
It is situated on the side of Mt. Meru, and I’m not sure what my transportation
and housing will be like… but I can’t wait to get my hands on some equipment!
