Its so hard to say GOODBYE! Our long journey is slowly coming to a end. Just the other day we went to a school house. The students were so eager to learn. When we entered the class rooms to pass out pencils and pencil sharpeners, the kids looked at us with amazement. They stared at us as if we were celebrities! Each student stood when we entered and waved. Seeing there work ethics really made me have a different mind set about education. The students at the school have to take an end of the course test to see if they can go on to secondary school( high school). The principal said they will have a pass rate of 50%. This was very stunning to me! This is a very high passing rate. Many schools in Georgia passing rate for the graduation test is only like 30% in some parts. And our resources are much better. This adventure to the school house is definitely my most unforgettable memory!!!

Greeting! I know you all have returned from Tanzania, but I still wanted to post. Each of you should be proud of the work you accomplished and the impact on the community you all have left! Remember not only the lessons you have learned, but the unique experiences and people you met. I'm looking forward to working at Westlake this year!
Best,
