I'm Going to Tanzania

I, Afshan Shaikh, am so excited to begin my journey to Tanzania, Africa. Our 18 hour adventure begins with a group of six innocent high school students meeting at the airport in front of Pascals in the North Terminal. From there we catch our first of three planes to Detroit, that is approximately two hours long. From Detroit we travel another eight hours to the Netherlands in a place known to mankind as Amsterdam. From Amsterdam we travel another eight long hours to Nairobi, Kenya. At Kenya we ride into Arusha, Tanzania by vehicle. Does that sound adventurous or what? This trip means so much to me and I cannot wait to arrive in Tanzania and get started. I am definetly anticipating to leave learning about Tanzanian culture, way of life and improvements of health that the solar cooker is going to have. I plan on this trip to be fun, educational and an experience I can share with others. I can't wait!!
