Oh NO...A blow out...the sole nearly detached from the sandal....2 minutes later the fundi had repaired it....It only cost a mere 1000 Tsh. (75 Aus cents)
We got pikis from town to make our meeting with the Morogoro International School Headmaster and Deputy to discuss our restarting swimming timetable. Ben and Jason were very welcoming and Ben was pleased to share the fact that he had been a VSO Vol in Nepal for 2 years and understood my commitment and life as a vol!! It was very reassuring to have an ally in the Head of MIS. Unexpectedly he offered, not only myself, but my fellow VSO colleagues, David and Jan (with whom I stayed recently for a week ) complimentary passes to the MIS swimming pool!!! WOW....@ 4K Tsh a visit....I was wrapt!...and I knew that Jan and David were going to be happy with this news! New to MIS, Ben and Jason were looking to strengthen links with local schools and to share resources...both I am seeking to achieve for SEGA...A productive meeting with two friendly colleagues!We caught a dala and took the scenic route, to visit my friends from school, also living nearby in Kihonda, Pauline(Counselor, Lifeskills teacher), and Grace (Science, Biology). Pauline's daughter, Milka and her younger sister who cares for Milka, were staying in Moro for the week so we were treated to their company as we enjoyed sundowners at their local bar.
