Emily- Def a good point! I'm glad you pointed that out. It is extremely important to ask for permission before taking their photographs! Especially at placement, it is important to establish relationships with them before even bringing your camera t…

a note on photographs

I know this is something that CCS stresses to new volunteers, but I think it's important enough that it bears repeating. All of the subjects in my photos were asked for their permission before I snapped the shutter. Every person, every time. Every time we were a new place, I asked (yes, even the kids hamming for the camera in Rau Village. ASK.) Every time I wanted to take a photo of my kids at placement, I asked. And when they said no, I respected it. No pouty faces, no please, please,Continue

Hi Michelle, I see you made a trip to Arusha. I am planning heading to Arusha on one of my weekends to volunteer at the Tanzania Albino Centre. Do you know how one would travel from Moshi to Arusha safely? how much does it cost? I assume in-country staff can assist with this kind of thing? Is it safe? Danielle Farrell was planning on coming along with me =) thank you! (sorry to bug you with so many questions) our program manager recommended we check out your blogs and photos!

I found your blogs really helpful :)
