Yes, I’m teasing you with this shot of the African Plains.. I thought it was cool. The Safari we went on yesterday was amazing. We saw impala, warthogs, giraffes, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, buzzards and lions. Yes, even lion cubs. (They were sooo cute.)

We’re just about ready to take leave for the airport so I haven’t had time to really do any editing. Don’t worry though, I’ll post images here soon from the whole trip so check back.

Internet access here has been very hard to find. Tonight we’re staying in a pretty nice beach resort though and finally we’re able to update the blog. The last few days have been incredible and life changing. We have had the pleasure of meeting a lot of local people connected to the water project here. We’ve learned about their needs and how Thirst Relief is working with the local team to fund the construction and delivery of bio sand filters all over the Bagamoy0 district here in Tanzania. Water here isn’t even safe to drink from the municipal water supply, should you be lucky enough to have the shallow laid pipes anywhere near your home. Even the ground water collected from common shallow wells is contaminated with e.coli. The new bio sand filter we installed in this village will provide these orphans with clean and safe water and provide with with the opportunity to grow healthy and strong.

Above are a few images from our trip to a nearby village orphanage. I hope they stir your soul and tug your heart as they did mine when I captured them.
