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.
