My stay at IOP

From 16. september to 18. october I were at IOP. There I have bin learning a lot about the people and how I can communicate without having too much misunderstandings.

Her are some pictures from Ilula:

The rest of the volunteers

One of the churches we went to. This a roman catolic church

I realy like the idea of what it means here to be a Christian. When they here in Tanzania say they are a Christian they don't specify which direction in the Christianity they belong to, but goes to all of the Churches.

Bingo, to learn english

A drive through a village, can change with just a little knowledge about the background of it

One of the days here, we were driving through the village and I found it a good time for taking pictures

It was then Vashti told me that this was village called number A, and the reason why most of the houses where empty was because people had died, and are still dying from HIV/AIDS. We were driving further, while I were looking at the pictures of the empty houses when they said I had to look out the window, 'cause this was the river where the people from the village we passed and an hour driving in both dirrection went to get their water for making food, drinking or washing clothes. The water they needed to survive.
