Over the last two work days we've got the foundation for the storage tanks finished and most of the 100 meter trench to the trough done. Work is good, we're all getting tougher and stronger day by day. Today me Steph, Claire, Steve, Cale, Kateri and Chris witnessed a live goat get slaughtered for lunch in front of our eyes. Claire insisted that we name it before it dies... but none of us could bring ourselves to do that. In the Muslim faith, here in Tanzania the slaughtering of a goat is a spiritual thing. They pray over the goat and have to kill it facing East (something like that I think). It was a gorey incounter but I'm glad I got to see it. Tomorrow we're heading down to Itigi to visit a missionary hospital and the following day; Sukamahala, where we are going to visit an institution for people with leprasy and other disablilties. Time flies pretty fast here, but looking back I can't believe it's almost been a month.
Anyways, it's getting pretty late and we have a long day of travel tomorrow
SOOO BYE
- Karen and Steph
