Kwa heri Tanga, Jambo Dar es Salaam!

First, apologies for not keeping you up to date with yesterdays adventures! So, a short recap of our last day in Tanga: we had a great morning meeting with Ruth Nesje and Ragnar Johansen on how we could structure a future larger project supporting health or education - or both - in the Tanga region. The need on a grass root level is definately there, now we need to make sure that we get all parties on board! If we succed, about 2.500 teachers and/or nurses will have access to a great, safe light and charging!

Then time for "Kwa heri" to TICC (for now - we'll be back!) and take-off for the Maasai Maserati and a last trip! 7,5 hours later we arrived, tired and sweaty, for a meeting with Ms Daphrosa and Mr Ngate, with experience from working with VSL/Vicoba (see earlier post). At least 300,000 persons are currently involved in this type of local banking, probably twice as many including the initial groups!

Slipway is our new home for the remaining week; after check-in, an exhausted team enjoyed a well-deserved pizza along the shoreline of the Indian Ocean. If we only knew then what the Friday should bring... [oh, yes - a cliff hanger!]
