Happy 4<sup>th</sup> of July from Tanzania! On Friday we
first went to the F.A.M.E. Medical Clinic, a clinic founded by an American
family to bring medical care to Karatu. At the clinic we learned the story of
Dr. Frank and how he came to leave his high-class life in California to bring
help to Tanzania. After the clinic we met up with the Banjika Secondary School
students and teachers to begin our long bumpy journey to a coffee plantation.
At the coffee plantation we all sat around as one to enjoy coffee and chai tea.
To celebrate the 4<sup>th</sup> of July, the leaders then took us on a surprise
trip to a small restaurant down the road from the hotel where we enjoyed a
buffet of American food. As the day winded down, we sat around a campfire and
enjoyed the peacefulness of Africa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

Greetings from Tanzania! On Wednesday we finally completed
the brick making process at the Banjika Secondary School. After chai time we
held a discussion regarding gender roles in Tanzania and America. The Tanzanian
boys were blunt with their idea that boys are better than girls. But after
splitting up into boys and girls, we all came to the conclusion that both
genders are equal. The girls group discussed the importance of supporting one
another as women and taking risks to achieve greatness. The day was finished
with a soccer game with Tanzanian students and Ensworth students. Ensworth
scored in the final seconds giving us a victory against the Tanzanian students.
That night was the final night at Doffa campsite. We celebrated by having
s’mores around the campfire. The majority of us fell asleep early outside under
the stars because of the early wake up call for the safari the next day.</div>

If you want to check out FAME clinic, mentioned below, see the video on www.fameafrica.org. We consider Dr. Frank and Susan to be great leader role models for the students to study. Have a wonderful 4th -- Ross Wehner, WLS<br />
<br />
"Jambo from Karatu! Safari yesterday was amazing! One of the vehicles even saw "the big 5" (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, Cape buffalo). We are having a wonderful adventure. This morning we visited the inspiring and beautiful FAME clinic and this evening there is a special 4th of July celebration planned. Our connection to the Internet isn't great, so we'll post more when we can! Happy 4th!"<br />

Hey Fellow Americans!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today we switched it up a little bit and decided to cut the
workday short and came back to camp before lunch. At Banjika, we played fun
games in the morning with the kids and then made more bricks. As usual, we had
our chai time :-) and continued our collaboration with the students from
Banjika. We taught them the Harkness method and used it to converse about
success and leadership in both America and Tanzania. It was cool to hear about various personal models of leadership as well as discuss what success means and how to achieve it. Many
students from Banjika and Ensworth shared their ideas and we were surprised at
how similar they were. One boy from Banjika, Zachariah, was talking about
achieving success and said, “When someone tells you that you cannot do it, put
your fingers in your ears and say ‘I can do it, I can do it.’ Everyone was
really touched by his statement. It was awesome to see how open the Banjika
students were when talking about something that seemed so different in two
different cultures. After the discussion we walked back to camp, ate lunch, and
everyone crashed. This trip has been a very eye opening experience for
everyone. The home stays really touched Carly and I because we never truly
realized how fortunate we are for the way we live. We’re so thankful we had the
opportunity to come on this trip with this great group of people. We have all
learned a lot about each other and ourselves, and shout out to our leader Suz
for being awesome and opening our eyes to new experiences. We love you guys and
can’t wait to see you at BNA in a couple of days. Stay classy fam. </div>

Hunter Renken: Day 6</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Day 6 of the Ensworth Tanzania trip was homestay day. The
day started off with all of the Banjika students meeting us by the entrance of
our camp and us going our separate ways to the houses of the students. The
houses of the students varied from basic square brick houses to nicer and
painted houses with marble floors. William and I stayed with Moses whose house
was one of the nicer houses in the community. The house was painted a light
gray with two different wings, marble floors, toilets in the house, and a TV.
William and I had the opportunity to walk through the Rift Valley and see a
wide arrange of plants and also a pretty good view of the mountains. We were
also able to watch Tanzanian TV, listen to Tanzanian music, and also watch some
world cup soccer. Also the food that William and I ate while staying at Moses’s
house, in my opinion, was really good. We ate rice with some sort of this beef
pot roast, fried bananas for breakfast, and we also got to cut down and eat
sugar cane. After coming back to camp and talking with the rest of the group, I
got to hear some very interesting stories about what everyone else got to
experience at their homestay. Some people got the opportunity to watch the
mother of the homestay cut the head of a chicken off, pluck all of the
feathers, and butcher the meat. Some people got to attend Tanzanian church. At
the church that William and I went to it was comparable to a gospel church with
a lot of singing and dancing. It was cool to see everyone get so into the
prayers and the songs. Multiple times during the service people broke down into
tears and were screaming, “glory to God!” or, “Thank you God, thank you!”
Overall my homestay experience was great and was a fantastic opportunity to be
immersed in the Tanzanian culture. </div>

Kelson Gray: Day 8</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On Day 8, instead of going straight to Banjika, we first
went to a private school called Tumaini roughly 10 to 15 minutes away by car.
While I was there, I made a lot of observations about what was different and
similar at the two schools, and it made me appreciate what I have
because something that was considered a very nice school was not as nice as
Ensworth. After our trip to the school we went to Banjika and all worked hard
on making enough bricks to create a designated goal. In the afternoon, we had a
great group discussion about the purpose of education and what makes a school
successful. It has been great watching these schools interact with one another
and how their culture works differently from ours. But a surprise that night was
getting to get to go watch the French and Nigerian soccer game at a local
restaurant. It was another unique, fun and interesting day in Africa.</div>

Hello from beautiful Tanzania! The past couple of days have been
absolutely amazing. Two days ago, we arrived at the Banjika School where
we were introduced to the students and were assigned our local student
partners. To get there, we ate red bananas in the village of Mto Wa Mbu
(Mosquito Creek) and spent upwards of four hours on the bus. We
continued on to our campsite, which is roughly ten minutes from the
Banjika school, where our excellent chef, Wilson, prepared a fantastic
meal for us. We then carried our full stomachs from the dining hut to a
bonfire where we discussed our feelings, hopes and fears. The bonfire
lasted deep into the night, which resulted in a lot of tired faces the
next day.<br />
<br />
Yesterday marked the beginning of our service
project. We mixed sand and cement to make bricks, which we followed up
with chai time (tea time) and an amazing discussion regarding social
issues in both Tanzania and the United States. We found that many of the
issues in Tanzania also exist in the states, which led to further
discussion of potential solutions. We communicated in English while also
learning bits of Swahili, and it was truly amazing to interact with the
students in such a way. Afterwards, all of the boys from both Ensworth
and Banjika played a game of football (soccer). Man, you should have
seen the football game! The field was right next to the village and
surrounded by corn fields with beautiful mountains in every direction.
After we said goodbye to the students, we returned to our camp for
another fantastic dinner and bonfire. <br />
<br />

p.s. we are having internet connection difficulties but will post as often as possible...thanks for your patience! </div>

Day 1, June 25:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jambo! Day 1 was
spectacular! We started off the morning by eating a breakfast of fresh fruit,
eggs, crepe-ish pancakes (?), toast, and fresh juice. After some games, we
headed off to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro. Though we were intending to make it to the
summit, after 45 minutes we stopped for lunch at a beautiful gorge and then
turned back to the trailhead. As the clouds cleared off the mountain and its
surroundings, we all were able to fully appreciate the beauty of Tanzania. Next
we made the long bus journey back to the lodge, bouncing along the dirt roads
and experiencing the harsh jetlag. At the end of the journey, we passed some
Tanzanians playing soccer in an open field with Mt. Kili positioned perfectly
as a backdrop. With ruts and ditches everywhere and two giant sticks marking
the goals, the field was very unlike the well-maintained fields at Ensworth.
Naturally, we had to challenge them to a game. While we were outmatched in
athleticism and skill, a strong American defense proved to hold its own. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Final score: 0-0. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We ended the night by being served endless amounts of food
by the kindhearted, hospitable Mt. Kili Lodge staff. The food was so fresh,
coming from local farmers. It was a perfect ending to a great first day. <o:p></o:p></div>
