Some things I hope to accomplish living among the Maasai include: helping renovate the Longido roadside banda, visiting schools, introducing a solar oven, purchasing chickens and goats, planting seeds for a library, making jewellery with the Kimokouwa beadmakers...and untold adventures waiting to unfold...

Photo: A Gesture of Thanks
I am returning to Canada today but my journal notes are not complete. Perhaps a book is in my future to finish telling stories about the wonderful people in Tanzania.
I want to end, for now, with a photo of a little girl I met on the road on Wednesday when I was leaving Longido for the last time. Whenever I took a photo of a child, I checked the image in the viewfinder, gave the child a "thumbs up", then showed it to her. When this girl saw me coming she spontaneously gave me the "thumbs up" sign. Though her meaning was different than mine, I interpreted it to mean "a job well done" during my project visit. I was deeply touched.
