Pictures from Tanzania


Here we are at the top of Kilima Moto--an extinct volcano.  This was a Sunday activity sponsored by a group from the Arusha Community Church.
  









This is a Maasai farmstead. Tim and I have 3 Maasai in our classes.













Here I am teaching an Introduction to Psychology Course.  I have 33 students. Recently, when we were discussing "culture,' one of the students asked if I thought it was right for a more powerful culture to force a weaker culture to change?  I asked if he was referring to the United States and Tanzania (because there's been great pressure from the US to stop female genital mutilization and other harmful, traditional practices.) This led to quite an interactive discussion between the students.



A great picture of 2 of our students.  Witness is the name of the female student. She is very passionate about female rights.  Behind her is Huruma. We have been impressed with the students' attentiveness,
respectfulness, and sense of humor!








One of the monkies that frequents our yard. There is a familly of monkies that enjoy playing in the trees and on the roof of our house!.  They scatter when we approach, but are fun to watch.
