Ok so I know I have been terrible at this but in all fairness I have been extremely busy and internet cafes are only open at certain hours. I will have to fill you all in on Zanzibar and Egypt a little later but for now I will fill you in on what has been going on in Arusha. Everything with Tuamkeni is going excellent thus far. Earlier this week I met with Mr. Mathew to discuss the process of purchasing land in more detail and to work out the final cost for the land. After meeting with him I went and found a lawyers office in town so I could ensure that the process Mr. Mathew had told me about was in fact correct. The lawyer was extremely helpful and she showed me ones that were in the middle of being processed and ones that had already been processed. I feel confident that I now fully understand the proper process. The next step involves me getting all my funds together and figuring out how I will be able to withdraw the money for the land. It is a slow process but hopefully everything works out and Tuamkeni will be able to have a place to call home by the end of next week. Land will do so much for Tuamkeni because it means its a permanent place where they can grow and develop into a better organization. The land I am looking at is extremely fertile so Mr. Mathew and I want to devote a section of the land to a garden so they can either grow their own food or grow food to sell with the funds helping out the school. I am really happy with everything so far and I really hope everything with the land works out.
