We spent many hours at this touristy and westernized hotel called Africa House, where we took advantage of free wireless.
There are also Obama signs in a lot of places. I’ve seen a bunch spray painted around Zanzibar and there were Obama signs and pictures of him plastered on the back of some of the daladalas in Dar es Salaam.
We went back to Ben Bella to try again to get updated costs. This time, the numbers were different from the ones we had received on Monday. It’s really important to ask the right questions. We realized that we needed to inquire about each Form’s costs separately, otherwise we would get average costs across forms, which wouldn’t help us when we are funding girls from each form.
We also took two of our scholars, Ghaya and Fatma, out for dinner. They are both amazing young women – very vibrant and ambitious. It was great to meet with them outside of the school setting to get to know them a little better. It was also great because the two were from different schools so they could learn from each other as well. One of our goals is to connect scholars from different schools together so they can be a support group for each other.
Word of the day:
Nimisheba – I’m full (in response to all the food vendors harassing us on the street)
