I am finally living with my host family in the most beautiful room in all of TZ! I have been staying in the MCC Guest House on campus since my arrival and shuttling back and forth for meals with my host family. When my host family agreed to take me in, they did not have a room ready for me and hoped to renovate the small building in back of their house within a month. Things took a bit longer than planned but I am absolutely thrilled that it all came together before the end of the year.
I spent the morning of working on my final exams before checking things out at lunch. My host father assured me I could pack my things and move later that afternoon. I took him at his word and packed my bags as soon as I finished teaching and waited out an unexpected rain shower/ thunder storm. The first break in the weather, I rolled my faux-leather suitcases across the soccer field to the great amusement of the local boys. I'm sure it must have been quite the sight to behold! My host sisters helped me and I was settled in and unpacked by dinnertime.
My room's walls and ceilings are painted white with a bright blue trim around the bottom; two glass paned windows on either side of the room, one with a view of Lake Victoria, give a nice cross breeze; my own private showering area complete with shower curtain; bright yellow and red curtains; large single bed and a desk for me to work at – pure luxury!
