I wanted to start of by talking quickly about the donations. There was a total of $1190 USD in donations given to me for various volunteer projects here in Moshi. The total amount raised for Newland Orphanage was $690 USD. Those donations have now all been donated! The funds went to the boys dorms to help pay for the installation of electricity, concrete for the outside of the dorms, new bunk beds, and windows with mosquito nets. Thank you, Thank you, thank you, for everyone who donated and I will post more photos of the dorms as they come close to being finished.

The clinic is slowly coming along and there will be new steel doors on Monday to keep everything locked up and safe. After that I plan on purchasing tables, chairs, a big cabinet, and then finally, and basic medication to stock a small pharmacy. I am very excited about this project!

Tomorrow I am leaving Moshi to go hiking in the Usambara region, it mostly consists of a mountain range in Northeastern Tanzania. The whole trip will only cost about 20USD per day and the hikes should be very flush and beautiful. It will be a nice break from Moshi.

Will post again next week.
