Walking to school

1/23/2015

1 Comment

 
One of the best memories from a trip to Tanzania is the daily life encountered on the road to school.  Road is a relative term which in this case is a dirt road with rocks, ruts and speeding motorcycles and an occasional cart manually pulled. 
There are fields of corn and beans which were invaded by three goats who had escaped from their enclosure and were having a great picnic at the expense of a farmer.
There are lots of children running out from their small homes and calling out "How are you?  Good Morning! " 
Mangy dogs are present, cows and goats are grazing in the fields. 
The clothes lines are hung with colorful fabric and children's wear.
Women are walking with stalks of bananas or water buckets on their heads.
The people have smiles on their faces and exchange greetings. The children are generally wearing what we would call ragged clothing and they are beautiful!!
I invite all of you to come with us and make your own memories.  Earla
