This was the first full day we’ve had in Mwanza.
First we travelled to the Forever Angels orphanage, to meet children aged up to two years old whose mothers passed away during childbirth, and some up to five years old who had been abandoned. The name Forever Angels is dedicated to the children who have passed away and not made it through their time at the orphanage : their pictures were posted across the walls.
Lunch was at a hotel in the city, with a sea view; a complete contrast to everything we’ve seen in Tanzania so far, and a lot more like home.
Then we went to the Hisani Orphanage. We met several children who we will meet from tomorrow onwards at Gedeli B school. We distributed toys and games with all the children, who were expecting to see us, and who were very happy. The whole team was swayed by how happy they were, despite how little they had, and found their excitement overwhelming.
Most of the children spoke basic English and introduced themselves, told us how old they were – there were a range of children from completely different lifestyles to us, and interacting with them was a preview of what we will face over the next two weeks at Gedeli B school.
