End of UK trip

The blog has been a little quiet over the last few weeks while we've been enjoying time in the UK with family and friends. high points have been
Seeing People
Seeing People (needed mentioning twice - such a high point)
Giving and receiving hugs (in public without being culturally inappropriate)
Eating lots of yummy food
processing the last year in Tanzania

Low points....
Rain, cold, rain, more rain, cold, wet .....need I say more?
losing sleep, feeling unwell, and being a little too busy some of the time


This weekend Paul travels back to Tanzania leaving Beth and the family in the UK for the next few weeks.  Bridge2Aid has been busy over the last few weeks preparing for our next training programme in June.  We also have a recent publication in the British Dental Journal, a copy of which we can email you if you'd like to see it, on the rationale and background behind the work we do in Tanzania.  Email Paul on paul@bridge2aid.org if you'd like to see a copy.

Kwa heri Uingereza.  Tutaonana mwaka ujao.

Kids

We're looking forward to seeing many of you in just a few weeks time.  Here are some recent pics of Isaac and Hannah so you can all recognise them!!

Siafu

Here in Tanzania there's all kinds of wildlife to keep you on your toes.  Today, meet Siafu - biting ants.  They aren't as big as in Hollywood, but they certainly can bite!  After rain, it's quite common to see trails of Siafu around the place.  Paul has already had the misfortune to step in one of these trails, to find Siafu running up and down his legs and biting him all over within seconds (OUCH!)
Anything that gets in the path of Siafu is attacked, so on this particular day we had to divert their path with kerosene to keep the chickens and pig safe.

Here are a few (slightly blurry) shots of the Siafu making their way across the garden.
