i forgot my... Check Out My Trip to Tanzania

Another week of walking and teaching. Our village teaching group met and taught to some of the village leaders this week which was interesting to say the least. It took place in a church and before we started they had the choir sing for us and the pastor even prayed for a second. Of course my topic was sexual transmission. I am thinking the whole time before I go up to teach; sexual transmission in a church, sexual transmission in a church, sexual transmission in a church in Tanzania in a religious village, ok yes sexual transmission in a church. The village is sometimes difficult to talk to because they are very religious and sensitive and some people are making it difficult for our entire group to teach people how to protect themselves. On Wednesday my teaching partner/translator and I had another teaching with some sub-village leaders and only five out of twenty five showed up (only an hour late). They wanted to know if we would teach to five people and at this point I am thinking I will teach to a baby and a dog before I walk an hour home after not telling anyone something about HIV and how to reduce transmission. Three weeks left in the program. Next weekend there is another long weekend in which some people are going rafting in Uganda, some going to the island Zanzibar, and some others including myself who have no plans. We may have the option of getting over to the coast and camping on the beach. I really miss mexican food and supposedly a new restaurant opened in Arusha that has Mexican. I am holding on strong though, I do not want to put my body through poor quality mexican food, I would rather wait it out until I get home. I am still always dirty, but at lest someone at my homestay did some of my laundry this week. In Swahili they pretty much said "No, Matt you don't do laundry."
