Internet access in Africa is a fun game to play. Here is a post from Robin Pitman that we try to submit several days ago.

Today we visited the district commissioner of Bunda, Tanzania. It was a surreal learning opportunity that I was grateful to experience. We then walked to the CPAR office for our orientation and learned about CPAR and what they do for the Bunda community. On our walk we explored the local market. There was an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, a lot of avocados. We have been drinking an avocado, passion fruit and lemon juice during our stay at the Victoria Hotel. It will be difficult to return home and enjoy the fruit and juices after experiencing the fresh and ripened food we have been fed. There are children playing all over the district. They are all very creative making their own toys and playing outdoors. We have felt so welcomed and accepted by all the children and the families in Tanzania. We do not walk anywhere without a lot of "Nipitanu" (high five!) and "Mambo", "Poa" (Hi, What's up?). We have made so many Rafikis (friends) and are so grateful to be here. We will start our first day of work tomorrow and many of us are excited and anxious to begin!
