This is Katherine!
Yesterday was fantastic. After finishing work at the school, we headed back to Kehembe's to cleanup for the concert. We brought 5 of the sinai girls (who we have been singing with all week) back and gave them lunch. Since they were performing with us in the concert, we took them back to our rooms to clean up. Then we presented them with brand new school uniforms. They were so excited! It was very touching.
The concert was super. Everyone did a fantastic job. After, we said our goodbyes to the kids. We played our last hand games, gave our last hugs, and might have even shed a few tears.--Later,we went to the wedding. Highlights included a Michael Jackson dance medley,and, of course, a decorated cooked goat in its entirety.
Now it is 8 am here,and 9 of us are in a van, on our way to visit multiple churches. More on that later.
Lots of love to everyone!

Yesterday was our last day with the kids.we went to the school and got to play with the groupof kids who came to school even though it was saturday. We were able to take the 5 girls who we sang with back with us. We gave them agood lunch, did their makeup, and presented them with brand new uniforms. Afterwards we headed to the concert where we sang,played instruments, and joined the sinai school in a special african dance. Then it was goodbyes. We gave the kids hugs and goodbyes,it was so sad--many people cried. You know, when you come to tanzania you are expecting to just help some children in need, but now its more than that. We are not just helping people, we are helping some of the greatest friends we will ever have. I will miss those kids so much and I can't wait to see them next year

Last day with the kids was sad. I've grown so close to so many of the students I was close to tears. I'm especially gunna miss leandre and adipi. They helped me out a lot and they where so much fun to hang with and I'm gunna miss them a lot. On the other hand it was a bad day for me I took a tuck tuck and it ran out of gas and then the driver ditched us so we had to get in another one that ended up breaking down. At the end of the day we went to a wedding. In tanzania Instead of a cake they have a goat and me john lori and lise were invited to the front to have the first piece. I almost puked. It was sooo bad words can not describe how just awful it was. Its 8:30 am and I still feel sick! I am going to play violin at masai churches today
