Houston We’re Ready for Launch. April 12, 2007 at 12:21 pm. That’s Zituni setting a world record for how far she could fire the rocket into the air by the child-inspired force of jumping on the purple pump. This was a loaned gift to HAPO by our friends Steve and Jonathan, the Brits building the new Anglican Cathedral on the main road in town. Thank you so much Steve and Jonathan. As you can see, the kids, big and small, LOVED it. Mama Sekasua gives it a go. Entry filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: . Build...

Pool Party in Tabora, Whoohoo! April 12, 2007 at 12:31 pm. Eleven weeks into my stay in Tanzania, the Sparkle Princesses and friends were invited to tobacco friend Marc’s backyard pool. It felt a spontaneous luxury vacation: pool, beer, water polo, itunes playing on portable speakers…aaaaaaaahhhh. Above are Steve, me, and Jonathan posing in the water. Teaching synchronized swimming to two of my favorite blokes, Craig and Steve. Entry filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: . Houston We’re Ready for Launch.

Monkey in My Tree. March 22, 2007 at 5:23 am. After a rough go of it on the all-night train to Kigoma (pics below) we arrived in Kigoma and settled into the nicest hotel in town, the Hilltop, around 6am. Siwan and I fell asleep instantly on the full-size beds and woke to vervet monkeys in our tree overhanging the hotel room porch. I didn’t use the zoom feature on my camera to get that shot above. Kigoma delivers! Here I am after 8 hours of shouting “ATCHA! Entry filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: . Steve ...

Archive for January, 2007. Here are a few photos from Dar to Tabora to whet your appetite for the 200 more I’ll add to flickr this weekend…. These are the cabins at the Salvation Army in Dar Es Salaam. Kind of pretty for a boot camp. Here are me and Siwan, my new best friend in Africa. We left the Salvation Army to go explore the city. Look at how pale we are on day one in the hot hot sun! Maji maji tafadali (water water please). Here’s a picture of Tabora from the plane. I was a bit concerned ...This is...

Archive for March, 2008. After my amazing experience in Tanzania, I returned to New York and started plotting and scheming for a way to return to Africa. Thus Operation Tech Start. Take a look and you’ll see how we’re nearly ready to launch our computer lab and research the communication practices of the farmers in the rural region of Tabora. But we need your help! Are you a computer geek or do you know someone who would like to volunteer in Tanzania? Check out the volunteer description here!

Archive for February, 2007. Valentine’s Day at HAPO. I really should not have been surprised at the big fuss made over Valentine’s Day in Tanzania. They love love. They blast Celine Dion songs on crowded smelly buses. Their favorite national song, Maliaka, is a slow balad about an angel. And they present gifts on bended knee (no joke! So of course the children LOVE love. Here are a few more photos of the watotos getting into the spirit of the day…. February 26, 2007 at 6:35 am. Last Saturday, me, Siwan a...

Archive for March, 2007. Gombe – oo oo ah ah. It’s slightly nerve-wracking to turn your back on a monkey but luckily these baboons could have cared less about me. Below are a few more select photos from our 4-hour adventure in Gombe, a truly amazing remote national park. Baboon with a baby on its back. Baby baboon and mama baboon hanging out. Siwan captures a beautiful waterfall. That’s me, happy to be hiking around for monkeys, a dream come true. After two hours we found a group of chimps! That’s ...
