TANZANIA | Monday, 1 Mar 2010 | Views [467] | Comments [1]

Hey, so this most likely will be my last post, since my time is sadly winding down.  Four of my closest friends leave this week, so it really sucks.  Then next week is my last and I have to say goodbye to my kids, ugh I am going to be a mess.  Lots of ... Read more >

Call me for free!

TANZANIA | Friday, 8 Jan 2010 | Views [462] | Comments [2]

There is this phone number 1-800-FREE-411 where you have to listen to two 20 second ads first, but then you will be able to call me for free for 5 minutes! So keep that in mind, it says you can call mostly anywhere so I hope it works for Tanzania!
