This year our house is situated a 15-20 minute walk from the town of Morogoro. We are on flat land so getting to town is absolutely no problem and beautiful views exist in all directions. In addition, small food stands are only a couple minutes away. Our house is very spacious with a living room and three bathrooms! The showers are cold and we do our laundry by hand (we have makeshift clothing lines inside the house to dry our clothes when it rains.) The kettle is our only electronic appliance for the kitchen. We also live in the same compound as some of the Tanzanian team. Breakfast and dinner are cooked by our mama. Some common foods we eat are rice and beans. Friday's are definitely one to look forward to because we get chicken for dinner! We prepare lunches by ourselves and because of the convenience of the markets we eat fruits (lots of mangoes), PB&J sandwiches and even instant noodles. One thing to watch out for is using clean water. Everyone this summer drinks bottled water and we wash our dishes in boiled water.
