Update June 19th

Hi,
Sorry I have not updated sooner. I was in the Southern region of Tanzania in a town called Ndanda and didn't have internet access. Ndanda is a beautiful area with a waterfall.
I'm getting anxious for my work to start. I keep on thinking of new ideas to help School of Dreams, but I really can't wait to see the actual property and meet the girls. I met my host family last week and they are wonderful.
IMUMA is doing good, though still struggling. I spend more time there this week and I really want to establish a plan to help one of the older girls there. It would be great if she could attend School of Dreams, but School of Dreams won't be overnight for a while and she lives in Bagamoyo...so I am going to look into other options for her. Right now, she is at risk...not at IMUMA but her home life. She is 14 and she is being used for sex.
I am so excited to start working at the school. Karibu Tanzania if anyone wants to visit!
