First post- currrent location, Arusha Tanzania

At last I have a few minutes to write up this damn diary- I think it may have been easier to keep a written one! And I only have 5 minutes left on my internet time so I'd better be quick!

So. Tanzania. Its hot and beautiful although we have just entered the rainy season (fecking typical, I come from Scotland to Africa and I get the rain!). However it really only rains at night and then its like a monsoon. Never seen anything like it. Not even in Edinburgh.

I've been working at the orphanage this week. 32 kids under 2. No running water and no disposable nappies. Can you imagine! Its been really good fun though and the kids are wonderful. As are my fellow volunteers the fighting Irish, Deirdre, Anna Marie and Siobhan. And the American nutcase, Cynthia. All great fun.

Going up to the Masai on Sunday to begin work on Monday. No electricity, running water or English speakers. AAAAHHH! You may never hear from me again.....................................
