Boarding school for some - Haradali English School

Seven of our Tumaini children go to Haradali boarding school for extra study (or extra discipline).

Haradali English Medium School is a short ride from Tumaini so we are bringing
the kids home for the weekend.

Margaret shows us her dorm room. There are 8 (or more) to a room
and the children keep their belongings in a locked steel trunk under the beds.

The latrine - these stalls are from a new section of the school.
The showers are in a separate building and the children take bucket showers with cold water.
Not unusual for Tanzania.

The 'Baby" classroom.

Our volunteers touring the baby classroom.

The dining hall.

The stove.

Lazaro, Emmanuel and Tumaini newcomer Daniel show us their beds.

We all jump into the Tumaini truck for a special treat - we are going out for dinner!

This is the first time the children will eat in a restaurant.
So many firsts for these kids.

Emmanuel waits the full hour for his chicken and fries without taking even a sip from his orange soda - such self control. (Mine by contrast was almost finished.)

Angela sits back and relaxes.

Margaret enjoys the time away.

and Elizabeth falls asleep at the table.
