This blog is all about my journey living and working in Moshi, Tanzania. This process began before I moved to Moshi in July 2006 and continues as I have been living here six and a half years. I like to write blogs about the kids here at Treasures of Africa Children's Home and about life in Tanzania and the fun things about living in a different culture. The children have become a huge part of my life here. I have fallen in love with them and each day they bring something new and fun to life. God has truly blessed me.

They Bless Me


Each time I got out to Maasai land and visit the people I am amazed by something new. The people are so different from the other tribes here. They live a lifestyle that challenges my American comforts. They have so little and yet they have an appreciation for things I take for granted.
Whenever we visit a Maasai home they always serve us a soda...warm. Now and then they will also have food and sometimes tea. The thing that is so wonderful is the way they do it. They treat us like we are the most important people to ever visit them and it always touches my heart.
This last visit we made was just as special as the others. On this last visit they brought out all their furniture and put it under a shady tree. They brought us the two newest born babies in their village for us to hold...one was two weeks and the other was a month old.
It is always fun practicing my Kiswahili and Kimaasai while at the same time giving everyone a good laugh at the way I pronounce the words and my bad grammar usage.
I am so blessed each and every visit. I have a special love in my heart for the Maasai people.
