Well, the picture of my whole class appears to be missing, I'm really sorry about that. I was able to see it yesterday so I don't know what happened. I was planning on putting up more pictures now but the internet at this cafe is too slow and there is also no USB in this computer. Polepole right?
The clothes that most of my kids wear are their uniforms. They are mostly green checkered but some of the kids have blue uniforms, and some have no uniforms at all. There are two kids in my class who are very, very poor and the only food they get each day is the school porridge. One of them, Martha, has a mother who is mentally disabled and has no idea where the father is. Three or four of the children are orphans. One of my favorite kids, Patrick, acts up a lot, and the teachers, Flora and Romoy, say it is because his dad is in jail. That was all pretty depressing, sorry. On a happier note, the children all seem very happy when they are at school.
Pictures coming soon (once again).....

So, Abby, I have a question -- do boys and girls wear their hair differently in Tanzania? All the children seem to have equally short/nonexistent hair. Do parents cut their children's hair short because it's too much trouble to keep clean, etc? Do they not distinguish boy/girl hair 'styles' until a later age? Hmmm...
