After two days of air travel, an overnight in Entebbe than two days of travel in a cramped minibus, we finally arrived at our destination - Itoju Village, Tanzania. We were greeted by the students of SHSS. For the students, it was a day off - the new school year had not started yet. They chose to give up a day of vacation to welcome us to the school and to the village.
The welcome included singing, dancing, drumming and personal greetings to us by the students and staff of SHSS. Father Avitus and a couple others even joined in on the dancing - who were the better dancers? I think the kids won this one!
After some time at the school, we proceeded to the Kiguta home where we were greeted by many family members and also members of the village. It was good to finally be somewhere and not in transit (trust me, there were several times that I was questioning as to whether we were going to make it here or not).
A good meal and good night's sleep was very well deserved and appreciated!
