One of the sad things about the Tanzanian education system is that teachers come and go. I have spent the past month getting to know my fellow teachers and heartbroken that my only friends in my village are leaving. I live next door to the Second Master of our school and his two brothers. His brother Sumaye is a teacher and Eliakimu is a form four student with a passion for learning English. Like many of the other teachers, Sumaye is leaving for University. Mr. Humphrey my other friend and fellow teacher is also leaving for University. They have both been very good friends to me and help me with kiswahili, so I will miss them when they go. I think I am about to be the only full time teacher at the school, so I will keep you posted on how that goes...
