Life in Maji Moto: Notes from Service Tanzania

Our Service Tanzania students are hard at work in Maji Moto, their host village. We’re happy to share their blog and the video they put together to recap their first week.

We had a great first week in Maji Moto getting acquainted to village life, Tanzania, our service project, and each other!

Here is a video recapping some of the highlights, however, the soccer game is not included because we were too wrapped up in playing and bonding with each other and the local community.

Enjoy and stay tuned for a recap of our weekend excursion to Aishi Machame and Materani!
