solar panel pictures:)

i've been back a week. Mom thought it would be funny if i kept writing stories on my blog like "today I went shopping and got the cutest jeans at Nordstrom!" (don't worry, I haven't gone shopping at nordstrom, haha--- i promise i learned a thing or two in africa). i feel the transition is very odd, you just sort of fall into the groove of your life here, and then have to remind yourself you were on a dusty road in tanzania last week. but more importantly, remind yourself of the friends you miss there.

anyway, my pictures of the solar panel! here they are!

Mama Imakulata and I


Fatuma, one of my students, checking her email for the first time.


Four of the women looking at the new English books and writing notebooks I gave them.


Me and most of the women's group.


One of the three lightbulbs and being powered by the solar panel!


The solar panel.


Imakulata in front of her home/ the women's group, there's some glare but you can see the solar panel on the roof there.


The solar panel again.


Salim sporting my old backpack.


Salim and the backpack, ready for secondary school.


That's all for now, until again when I go on another adventure which will be soon I'm sure... Thanks again to everyone who kept up with my blog and special thanks to those who donated. I have rec'd some of the donations already and to those who haven't gotten around to it, remember to mail them to me when you get a chance! Thanks for all your support and I hope you enjoyed the pictures above. I know it sounds lame of me but if you ever want to see the receipt for the solar panel also, I've got it (I know how it is to make sure where you're money went!). Much love.

Please mail donations to:
