In 72 hours……I am leaving for Moshi, Tanzania.

In 72 hours I will be in the air and on my way to Tanzania to work start my work with the Toa Nafasi project. So much to do…

Where am I going? I am going to Moshi, Tanzania, to work in a village called Msaranga. it is nearby Moshi and accessible by daladala (small buses) and cars. Here is a map.

Moshi is located on the right side of the map in the center. It is right next to Mt. Kilimanjaro.

I will be working with the Toa Nafasi Project, who have their own blog. Sarah Rosenbloom, the founder and director, is awesome and has graciously invited me to work with them. This is the first time I am going back to Tanzania since completing my dissertation research in 2009. I can’t wait to get there, but grading must get done before I can leave. Off to that. Here is a view from Moshi of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
