Health Care Project in Tanzania - May 30

“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

We started our morning off by going to the Lutheran kindergarten to teach the children the numbers 1-10 in English. They did very well saying the numbers in order 1-10, but it was challenging for them to count backward 10 to 1. We had a good laugh when Edward asked if the kids remembered our names and a few seemed very certain and shouted “mzungu!” We also helped out at the CTC, HIV clinic. Carrie spent time pulling patient files and seeing patients with the doctors. I helped count pills and hand out medication. It was a pretty busy day at the clinic! In the afternoon we went to the primary school to continue teaching about the importance of hand washing. The older kids didn’t seem as excited as the younger ones, but I think the information was still valuable and useful!
