The Latest from Haraa
In conclusion, there was absolutely no shortage of good times here in Haraa this week. Slowly slowly we’re becoming less mzungu, and Haraa is coming to feel more and more like home.

Mambo from the Sakila crew!
This week we finally started teaching in schools, which has been absolutely incredible. We finally feel like we’re doing what we set out to do. In Sakila, we have two primary schools and two secondary schools, and each teaching has been accompanied by unique challenges. We’ll cover a few of the most interesting occurrences here. Our first teaching was Wednesday (July 9th) afternoon at Sakila Secondary School. When we talked to the headmaster, we were told there would be between 50 and 70 students in each Form (grade), but when we showed up, many students had yet to pay their school fees and we ended up teaching classes...
