Last week, volunteers visited the Mickey Mouse
Pre-School. Here is what Fanny, from
Sweden, had to say about her day:
‘Last Thursday we spent the day at Mickey Mouse
Pre-School. It was a good visit! The kids were so cute in their school
uniforms. Since it’s very uncommon with
school uniforms in Sweden, you really find that adorable. The actual school building impressed me, the
big classrooms and the nice colour outside on the walls. The kids are so happy and thankful to go to
school, and that is what I love the most.
Tomorrow we are going there as well, and I’m looking forward to it. Every day is a new experience with those
children!’
Also last week, Annie, a community project volunteer
from America, spent a day visiting Machame hospital in Kilimanjaro. Here are her thoughts on the experience.
‘Last week I went to Machame hospital. The clinic is available to all Tanzanians for
a low cost. I was very surprised at how
low the cost is, even without health insurance.
The clinic serves patients with HIV, TB and general medical
problems. The clinic also has a
maternity and post-natal unit. When I
first arrived, the Director of the clinic explained the various parts of the
clinic to me and showed me around. After
the introductions, I helped count HIV medications into appropriate quantities
for the patients. Then I visited the TB
area of the clinic where I witnessed a patient visit. The patient was given a container to collect
sputum to test for TB and was given information about TB. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at the
clinic. I learned a lot about the
healthcare that is available to local Tanzanians and I hope I will be able to
go back soon.’
