My trip in December

There were holidays in full December, I'm right where he graduated as the school moved to Moshi in northern Tanzania to visit my friend George to see more of Tanzania. With a Suburban, it went out of the city and into the interior. This time, my path led me to the north and I got a very different landscape than on my school trip in October. The bumpy paved road with a speed soothing Hubbeln led me along the coastal strips with long straight landscapes filled with green bush in the north. In the north, we moved into the center of the country, because before we thought the Northern Highlands. After eight hours of driving, a pause and a ...

On we go on clients request with me, because it is so here finally is a World Wide Web!

Bad Thing About Indomie

My time in November

In November they went forward in the school. At the beginning of the month I have been teaching on as it was in October of the case, but I had to teach the first two weeks the set, because a new job waiting for me. The reports for the German sponsors of the orphans had to be written in our school. The teachers have already received questionnaires in October to every child, who should fill them. From the information these questionnaires, as well as with my experiences with the children, then I have made the reports. These reports I still have photos of the Child and pictures of the painted pictures added. This, I then sent to the German sponsors, together with a circular letter which I wrote as well, with all events of the school in the last six months. The German sponsors receive a report every six months of their sponsored child with the circular letter, unlike the Dutch sponsors, which will be notified only a year. In addition, the first school term was over and there were at the final examinations. The teachers write tests before writing this and I could retype them all into the computer and print them out. It was a bit annoying and work with the Suahelitests it was then a little more complicated. In the middle of the month I am with the fourth and fifth Class went on a day trip. We visited the National Museum, where we have about the wild animals of Africa and the colonial history of Tanzania's seen and experienced. We went to the Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, the largest airport in Tanzania, but was the view from the aircraft to be rather poor, the point of view was closed.
In my free time this month I also relived a lot. I was in the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, a huge football stadium with up to 60,000 seats. The stadium is very modern and was built three years ago. Crazy if you think about for what to do with the money that flowed into the stage, all the rest would have to achieve. Especially in a poor country like Tanzania, it is. The two biggest clubs in Tanzania, both from Dar es Salaam come, Simba Sports Club and DSM Young Africans played against each other. One of the biggest football events of the year and a derby between two rivals. Throughout the city there was all red and white football atmosphere (Simba) and green-yellow colors (Yanga) were watching. By George, Yanga is a fan, I have found my seat in the green-yellow building - luckily I happened to have my green T-shirt on! For as soon as someone came with a red T-shirt in our block there was a pure pursuit. The fans ran on to those in red and pulled him the T-shirt from his body and rips it into small pieces. The color red in the green sea of yellow could be fatal. Unfortunately my team lost 1-0 and cuts in footballing terms, the level was not quite so high, you could compare it with our third, maybe fourth division, but it was a very special experience at the Derby to have been there. Another big event was the Fiesta here in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's biggest music festival in which all the musical greats of Tanzania have occurred from about Bongo Flever Reaggy to Hip Hop. The highlight was that the US-American Raper Busta Rhymes for it from New York has arrived. All feverishly and anxiously waited for his final appearance. Since he is a black, he was the star here at all. The whole thing was not quite my taste in music, but being there is everything.
At the end of the month I visited with Edith and Robert two Graduations, graduation from university graduates. Hundreds of graduates have been honored with her Abschlussrobe and adopted. Both times there were relatives of Edith and I have met her family. I was very warmly welcomed and taken anywhere. After the graduation we went to attend the celebration with delicious food and cozy be together, as we know it from Germany. The music could also not be back too quiet.
In the last two days in November I started on my long journey. The school is more than a month gone on holiday and I was no longer held in the city. My adventure took me to the interior.

Remove Ikea Wall Mirrors

Dominican Republic three months - a balance sheet and other

Long ago that you heard from me. For that I apologize!
But it happens a lot here and it is hardly time to sit down and recap
. Today I have my times but made an evening free and I will try
, you give a further glimpse into my life here. But I'll
divide the email into different chapters, to add a bit more to bring
structure in the matter. I hope you make reading. And now
's're off.

Advent and Christmas

Christmas is in 30 ° C heat of course does not like Christmas at home. Already in September was
here Christmas to find in the shops and the
decoration was in most homes already set up in October. It can be seen mainly colored lights in the windows and kitschy plastic trees in the houses. Also on the work we have begun to "beautify" the establishment. We have decorative handicrafts made from milk cartons and decorated the windows and a Christmas tree. A nursery was also established.

Thus began our Christmas season here. Sweeten, we will then be used
with a day in the kitchen. Vanilla and butter cookies were successfully mass produced
pay for a little Christmas spirit to leave.
Apart from Christmas here
was felt, however, not much, the morning of the 24th
December I spent with other volunteers in a shopping center
for it to start then went to the Christmas Eve activity.
With my family I went to a family friend, where we had lunch
. After that was a bit relaxed at home and I have
skyping my parents before we host one of my aunts went to
there to spend the evening. A few days earlier were "gnome" concluded that it has bought a gift. Since the family is very large (my host mother has 6 siblings and all children and some of which again Children), was so gewichtelt. My host mother and elders of the family has started and give her her gift Imp. This has in turn given the gift of his elves, etc. My gnome was the 7-year-old Alex, from whom I got some
earrings and matching pendant.

Then there was a kind of buffet with verschiedenstemFleisch, salads and rice and then the evening was even around. The time passed fairly quickly, but it was still a very different Christmas than in Germany. In the evening I'm still unpacking my presents, because of my host sister and host mother and I got a little packet from Germany were at home. All in all it was a very nice day, but for me no Christmas.


visit to the Haitian border:

In connection with an excursion to the southwest of the country we drove
also to the Haitian border. That was for me and all others who participated in the
excursion, a special experience! The relationship between
Haiti and the Dominican Republic is difficult. Due to numerous conflicts in the past
the opinion of the average Dominican towards the Haitians is marked negative. Haiti is a much poorer country than the Dominican Republic and there are so many illegal immigrants here in the Dom.Rep. as Construction and relief workers are working. As we now visited seven of the border, we were now accepting children who were begging for money or food
. We saw in the eyes of these children and the despair as
our travel guide to one boy a small bag of chips, gave the
more despair for a moment, a beam in his face. How happy
you can do these children with some food, I was very touched!

This experience at the border was indescribable, we who live in the Dominican Republic were
, and inspired by the very poor
opinion about the Haitians and had initially totally afraid to stand on the border strip
and forward it to connect. None of us really wanted to take his camera
, we felt extremely uncomfortable to face as a blonde, white girls of this poverty
. But nothing happened to us and when we finally got out of the car
, our skepticism vanished too.

This visit is very much in all of us moved and he was one of the best things
I have done here before. I have this much more about the two countries and their strained relationship
understood and seen that this is
aversion from a time that is long gone.

I have searched the Internet for an article you some
could provide background information, but unfortunately did not find any. In
Dumont Guide "Dominican Republic" is found, however, a good
essay called "The Republic and Haiti - a tough neighborhood."
very worth reading!
