| So my neighbor had her baby. A month early, but luckily healthy. Baby Elnathai was born August 21st and weighed a whopping 1.5 kilos, which is about 3.4 pounds. |

| Its that time of year, in with the new and out with the old, volunteers that is. It is so weird that the older, more knowledgeable people are going. I did make it to a couple sharehe's, going away parties, to say bye. At Kristi's, the primary and secondary schools sang and gave speeches. Also, no Tanzania party is complete without everyone saying a speech. Luckily, I was passed over (wiping sweat from brow). I just got to eat, dance and enjoy my time. |
 |
| Most of the ville turned up for the party. |

| Tanzanians believe in wrapping you in every single present you receive, followed by a short dance party. |
 |
| I also made it to Claire's party. It was a lot of fun and all of her students and teachers came. They sang, danced, made speeches, and gave presents and we also stuffed ourselves full of pilau and danced the night away. |
 |
| Ran into my first black mamba in country. Luckily, there were students nearby with a hoe that cut it into pieces. Good thing too because those will kill you dead! |

 |
| Tanzanians love playing with our hair. Claire's students successfully turned her hair into a rats nest right before good-byes. In other news, this month marks one year of living in Tanzania. It is strange how fast it has gone!! I feel like I have so much to accomplish in the next year am looking forward to the rest of my service. That's about all folks! Peace Out! |
