This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

JIFUNDISHE


Two days ago we went to an organization called JIFUNDISHE (g-found-de-shae). They provided a free education for girls and boys that was actually a top quality place. It had a primary school which is usually for ages 5-11 but here they were much older because some of them had to drop out of their previous schools because they didn't have enough money or something like that. Then the secondary school which is what we call high school is usually people ages 14-18, but there the people were in their twenties. One of them had a full grown beard! But anyways, we didn't just have to stand around and introduce our selves and say why we were happy to be there and where we live and how old we are and share with them our dissertation.........(just kidding).

Although we did all the introduction anyway,  we got to play soccer with the primary school kids! It was very fun, there were probably 35 kids on each team so even though the fields were huge they were still very crowded. My team won like 17-1 and I scored about 5 of the goals for my team. There were two people that stood out to me the most and they were the person in the green sweatshirt and the guy with the blue Tanzania soccer jersey. They stood out to me because they were the two most talented players.
