Well hello everybody! I am well and in Babati in an internet cafe, we are working building classrooms for a school in Warangari outside of Babati its quite rural so only internet at weekends sorry no posts as yet! Hope all is good in England? Please tell me news! I havent as yet received any emails from anybody really?! Thanks though Carly. Well we've just been building the classrooms-hard work chucking bricks and cementing (mudding) and putting the bricks, learning gradually! We have also been making a fish pond for the school so they can have a fish farm to sell fish and get money for the school. Its all good fun! Have had our first football match against the local team....got destroyed but it was good fun none the less. Have been to church this morning which was good, fairly african. We have a rota thing going where we are in Buddys...Mum guess who I'm with!!! haha. but yeah and we get a day off a week from working and we have to cook the meals for the team and clean up, also time to do our washing and relax. Apart from that its pretty hectic. So whats the news in England? I'd love to hear from you all?? My life for the next 5 weeks will pretty much be the same I think but I'll try to update when I can! By the way I'm enjoying the 30 degrees heat....bit hot for working but a very nice change from -10. Anyway for everyone whos reading this please pass it on to anyone who would be of interest. Dad please pass onto grannys and jean and remind everyone to write to me! Well lots of love to you all and God bless, I've probably forgotten 100 things to say but done lots and cant remember so fast to put it down! Take care. Charlotte xxxxxx
