Our first day in Tanzania, on the streets of Arusha.
Kathy Hammer, glowing. She's one of the directors of Outreach International.
The girls prepare for our long drive from Arusha to Singida.
Taken on the first day, this is one of my favorite photos from the entire summer. On the left, Salanda, our driver and friend. On the right, Mike Kitwaka, Outreach employee and our invaluable resource.
On the way to Singida, camels on the side of the road.
This is the first of a number of images of children holding various objects. Here it's a little different, as a child helps a mother carry her water pan. But children in Tanzania have few if any toys, so it's common to see them clutching on to whatever they can find.

The first drive from Arusha to Singida was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I have never seen such beautiful landscapes.
Selling sugarcane along the side of the road.
A bus and a truck were stuck in the road, blocking the way. After 10 minutes of waiting, we drove around them.

On the road to the Ilunda Ward.
On our first full day in the village, Mike took us on a tour of the ward and Outreach's projects. Here, he shows Jess the farm at Gunda Secondary School.

Mike shows us how most villagers get their water: a hand pump over bore holes drilled in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of the pumps or bore holes did not function properly, but Outreach has been repairing about fifty of them throughout the ward.

The broken pump at Singa Primary, surrounded by weeds. The school used to get water from this pump, located 150 meters behind the school, but it had been broken for a few years. Fortunately, the bore hole under this pump still contained a lot of water, which allowed us to pursue all of our projects at Singa.

Unloading wood at Mdilika. We cut all of the wood at home using a circular saw and a 110-volt gasoline power generator. By the end of the summer, we had cut 450 timbers into 1350 different pieces. We transported it, little by little, to Mdilika in the back of our pickup truck, so the fundis could continue working.

Mike Kitwaka took us to visit the Hadzabe people, one of the last "primitive" tribes in Tanzania. Up until a few years ago, the Hadzabes wore no clothes and grew no crops, eating a special type of bark to stay warm and hunting for survival. With the disappearance of this bark and of wild animals, however, the Hadzabes have really struggled to survive. The Tanzanian government and several NGOs have encouraged them to wear clothes and to begin cultivating land. Still, these people were quite a sight to see through Western-accustomed eyes. Here is the dry habitat on the way to their village.
A Hadzabe church.
Hadzabe huts. By the time Hadzabe children reach the age of five, they become completely independent. They must build their own shelters and hunt their own food without help from their parents (though this independence is changing slightly due to the introduction of agricultural practices).

We took a few boxes of Kids Against Hunger meals to distribute to the Hadzabe people. In all my life, I've never seen children so outwardly happy to receive food. The next few photos show the pure joy of the children in having something to eat.
Sunset, on the way back from the Hadzabe village.
For three days in July, we traveled around to different villages to talk to people about HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases. Here we are presenting at Kinanpundu.

On the way back to Nkungi from Arusha, we stopped again in Singida, this time visiting an all-boys center for street children.

Simon, working on the feeding center.
Munar, preparing to fill the Simtank with water for the first time. In some sense, this was the culmination of several months work at Singa: with the apron repaired, the pipe laid, the stand built and Simtank installed, we could now pump water up to the school for use in the new kitchen and on the new garden.

One of my favorite photos of Munar.
After lowering the pump and starting the generator, we waited two hours for the Simtank to fill with 3000 liters of water. A few days later, we taught the Singa teachers how to batch treat the water with chlorine, and we opened the spicket for students to drink from. Watching the joyful eyes of children as they took water out of the tap was one of the most gratifying experiences of the entire summer.
Finishing the last few rows of the Singa kitchen.
We hired a tractor to break up the clumpy soil on the Singa garden. Many people showed up to watch the machine work.
Firing up the tractor.
In addition to plowing the land, the tractor also began to dig a trench through the middle of the garden to help control the water from during the rainy season. Villagers later completed the trench by digging with jembes.

Students at Iambi Primary School, greeting us. In the last few weeks, we visited the school multiple times to discuss a project that would continue in our absence. We have planned for the construction of a 150,000L in-ground rainwater collection tank, which will harvest water from three of the school's roofs during the rainy season.

A woman at the market, carrying a heavy load.
The auto-repair shop in Hydom.
In Hydom, we visited a couple of biogas systems with the fundi who built them. Here is the biogas system at a secondary school. The system consists of three circular sets of restrooms. The human waste is funneled into a central tank, where it mixes with animal manure and water. The decomposition of this mixture releases a natural gas which is captured and used to cook, power lights, or run appliances.
A look inside one of the restroom units, with the gas tank cap.
The input bins for manure and water.
The second biogas unit we saw was at the house of the Hydom Hospital administrator. This unit is manure only (no human waste), which produces a less optimal gas. The discharge from the tank, however, runs into a garden, serving as an automatic and natural fertiziler.
Leaving Hydom, we went to visit the village of another African tribe: the Barabikes. Here is the countryside on the way to their home.
A Barabike man. The Barabikes make their livelihood selling crafts to tourists. The next few photos show the process they use to make metal bracelets, which they demonstrated for us.

The charcoal, heating up.
When the fire is hot enough, they melt the metal using a long pair of tongs.
The melted metal, being poured into the tray.
After the metal takes its shape, they quickly pull it out (reheating if necessary) and hammer it into the desired form.
Then, they scrape away the black ash coating to leave a shiny metal surface.
Several Barabikes, in a working squat.
They bend the bracelet around a metal rod...
...and chisel decorative markings onto the exterior.
A cool photo, taken, as always, by Ashleigh. Here a Barabike man is making a metal wedge. He spits liquid charcoal out of his mouth and onto a flat rock. He then places the fire-hot metal onto the charcoal and hammers away, creating a loud cracking noise and a shower of sparks.
Our truck, parked by the Barabike village.
After watching Barabikes make a bracelet, we visited their homes and learned more about their lifestyle.

At Singa, we learned near the end of the summer that we could feasibly pump water using solar energy rather than a gasoline generator. We built this pump house to protect the submersible pump and the expensive solar equipment.
Inside the pump house. The hand pump will be permantly removed when the well house is completed, but for now it keeps out bees and prevents children from dropping stones into the bore hole.
Remember the Gunda garden at the beginning of the summer? Here it is near the end.

One afternoon, we went to Iambi to test the water depth and quality of a bore hole. We found the bore hole in the middle of a bare field.

In Singida town, we hired a metalworks shop to build a tricycle wheelchair for a handicapped child in Kinanpundu. Here, the head fundi shows us the nearly-final product.
In Singida, we visited another very impressive center for street children called Kititimo. Here, Munar chats with the cook, one of only three volunteer staff members. We have offered to work with Kititimo to find projects that can generate income for the center.

For our final day in Nkungi, we planned a big thank-you party to say goodbye to all of our friends. We hired seven village mamas to help with the cooking, which included three goats, six chickens, and very large amounts of rice, beans, ugali, chapati, chips, vegetables, and fruits.
