So it's the end of my trip to Tanzania - I really can't believe I'm already at this point. These past 8 weeks have flown by faster than I ever thought they could have and I don't want it to end. I saw Masai villages and giraffes walking around in the Serengeti, the tide come in and out in Zanzibar, and made a huge difference in the lives of hundreds of people in Morogoro. Nothing was more rewarding than actually seeing a difference in the people I was teaching by the end of our sessions and especially seeing a difference in the kids with HIV. We are here for such a short amount of time but the impact we've had will effect their lives forever and I can't think of anything cooler than that. This experience has made me rethink my whole perspective on life and the paths that I want to take. I fully intend on coming back once my degrees are finished and even sooner than that just to visit all the amazing people I've met here. I've totally fallen in love with this country and its people, and more than anywhere else I feel like this is somehow where I belong.
I really want to thank everyone who's been reading this blog for supporting me both in the months leading up to this adventure and during my project. I wouldn't have been able to come here without the help of my friends, family, and even the kindness of strangers and this has been all that I thought it would be and so much more.
