Greetings! A few months ago I visited my old home in Moshi -- where my siblings and I grew up. For the first time since I came to Tanzania, I cried. Before my trip, I had imagined that landing at the Kilimanjaro International Airport for the first time would bring tears to my eyes.

Greetings from Tanzania – the land of Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar! I can’t believe that I’ve already spent over two months here and am finally getting around to sending my updates! I have so much to write about and can hopefully convey all that I want to say about this beautiful country through my letters.

I have to admit that I’m in love with Kibong’oto! That small village that first captured my heart when I stepped there in January. I enjoyed its beautiful and calming environment.

During my time at Kibong’oto Infectious Diseases Hospital, I noticed a large percentage of our patients came from Mirerani because most of them are miners.

One of my best experiences in Tanzania involved eating various kinds of local foods. As a child, I could remember the taste of matoke, muhogo, and maandazi. As I was getting ready to leave for Tanzania, my mother advised me to eat all the fresh fruits and vegetables I could get my hands on.

Over the years, I have realized the power of collective team efforts. Communities are a great example of the strength that lies in collaborative efforts.

Coffee beans have a rich history in Tanzania. Coffee was introduced to local farmers pre-independence by the Germans. Since the 1890s, coffee became an important source of income for local farmers.
