We are off to langauge school again on the morning. A 9 hour drive awaits us, and then 4 more weeks of lessons. We are feeling a little apprehensive, as the time here in Dodoma has not afforded much space for further study. We feel like naughty schoolchildren who have not done their homework. We hope the teachers will not get too impatient with us when we return to class and still don't know all the details of the many noun classes!
More importantly, we hope the children settle down better this time and are happier. Ben has been unwell this past week, with a nasty stomach bug and diarrhoea, but is on the mend. Last time we were in Iringa, he struggled with the idea of leaving mum every day. We just hope he will cope better second time round. Esther has also found it difficult and there have been a few tears. So we have a challenge ahead of us, but hopefully weeks 4 - 8 will be a bit easier for the little ones...We'll keep you posted!
