Longido, Tanzania

Wow! What a beautiful place! I understand, Joanne, why you love it so much! The people are great, always happy to greet and help in any possible way they can. The "restaurant" was fun and the food so good. Sleeping on the hill in tents was quite an experience with the wind blowing so hard every night! Good thing I was warned or I wouldn't have been completely freaking out!

Most of my time was spent with Sarah, a Montessori trained Maasai woman who has started two Montessori schools in the area. She has done a beautiful job and the children in the schools seem so happy! I've taken so many pictures and video that I'll post when I get home.

Sarah also took me to the Montessori training site in Moshi where she received her training. It is run by Catholic Sisters and again, what an incredible job they have done. A person going through training spends two years learning and making their own material. Everything is made by hand!

I'm very impressed!
