Getting ready for church.
After staying in tents the team are up and ready to go to church and worship!
Melissa and Winnie
Melissa made some new life long friends while in Africa. Here she is with Winnie who she stayed with for the last few days of her trip. Winnie is a sweetheart!
Melissa and Joshua
For part of the time in Kigoma Melissa lived with a family. Joshua was one of the sons and they are in the room where Melissa stayed. That was her bed in the background with the mosquito netting.
Playing Tic Tac Toe Bean Bag Toss
Melissa is playing Tic Tac Toe Bean Bag Toss with the kids in Kaseke.
Monkeys are as bad as seagulls!
These little guys were at Jacobsen's Beach and just waiting to snatch up any food that was left lying about unguarded!
Sisters celebrating!
Upon arriving in Kigoma Melissa accompanied Harold and Connie as they drove one of the locals and her baby back home. They had been in Dar Es Salaam so the baby could have eye surgery to try and correct his blindness. This is a picture of the reunion and celebration of their homecoming.
Melissa and Jane Goodall
Melissa ran into Jane Goodall when she was in Tanzania. Jane Goodall started the Jane Goodall Institute to help protect and study chimpanzees and to teach people about them. The institute works with local communities to improve the environment and runs a program called Roots and Shoots for children and teenagers around the world.
