With the new mosquito nets the rooms even look a lot cleaner with the whiteness of the nets. And now the kids are totally protected!! They were all stoked with the nets - they hate the bites!! :-)

Swiwsco Orphanage Mosquito Net Fundraising
Considering my latest blog - I've also managed to purchase 10x mosquito nets for the orphanage which they needed desperately!! Here's a photo of what some looked like - not protective at all!!!

Mosquito's
The mosquito's here are ferocious, hungry, little (or should I say rather large) suckers and many!!! OMG - nothing keeps them totally at bay - not even 'deet'!
Thank goodness for taking 'malarone' which has so far not had any side effects. And I haven't had any signs of malaria!! :-)

Photo's Steal the Soul
There are many area's here that do not allow photo's to be taken - even when travelling in a car along roads. If I get this correct - it is said that taking a photo of a person, some believe, captures the soul of that person.
Which is, understandably, very bad karma. I am now very careful where and when I take photo's out of respect of this belief.

Korongoni Special Needs Sports Uniforms Fundraising
Sports uniforms for the Special Needs class have been purchased!!
As the kids entered the class for the day I gave them the uniforms to put on over their clothes - they kept them on all day.
They played football and wanted to stay outside to show them off.....
It's the best behaviour I've seen from all of them the whole time I've
been with them - even the teachers commented on how good they were. They were so proud!!

Mt Kilimanjaro Waterfalls
My torch has had a serious workout over past few days with all the power cuts. A bit difficult eating, showering and living at night without power....and no internet.
Hiked into the rainforests at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro over the weekend. It was awesome - so green and lush, and the water looks clean and pure - very deceiving of the bugs it still contains for westerners.
I also got taken to a couple of waterfalls and shown how to make coffee by hand - even got to make my own - couldn't drink it as I hate coffee but fascinating all the same!!
