Each morning is an awakening to something new in Tanzania. There is so much to learn, and there are so many to teach that the moment is never dull. As we talked last night, I began to see the big picture as to our purpose. I am becoming more and more aware of the fact that building a solar cooker is not my only reason for being here. I am here to learn and be able to soak up enough information that when I return home I can share the wealth. Hearing Baba Pete's and Mama Charlotte's story of how they arrived in Tanzania, and how they continued their original work from the black panther party really shed some light on them as individuals, as well as the party, in a manner that we in America aren't used to seeing them portrayed. That amongst other things has made this trip very eye-opening and inspirational. Hopefully we will proceed with our first day of testing today, and we will get the results we need to continue.
