First day at Kiluvya School and our time in Dar-Es-Salaam from Lea
helene-reist, 18:06h
It's our third day in Dar-Es-Salaam now, and we're having a great time.
Yesterday we went around the city, had some problems with the telephone cards, and took care of Julian, who unfortunately didn't get his luggage yet, becaus Turkish airlines somehow lost it.
And today we went to the Kiluvya secondary High School.
We were welcomed were warmly and had a good talk with the teachers, while eating some very good food (like fired bananas and african tea).
Then we went into a class, where the student Eric lead a discussion abouth different topics. We started with the different education systems, talked about religion, famaly, global warming, politics and a whole lot more. I experienced this time as really informative and the tanzanian students were so ambitious and knew much about the government and their projects, more than we did about our projects and government. It was a great cultural exchange and there i got to know many nice students. After the discussions we were shown around by some students. They were all so great, i got to know many new people and i'm so exicted for the homestay. I don't know in which famaly im in yet, but i know that it's going to be a great experience.
I'm really,really happy and pleased to be here and i like the people and Tanzania a lot !
