A song I love...

Lately I've been really hooked on the song "Better People" by Xavier Rudd
so
if you have not heard it, check it out, it is a really inspirational song
here are the lyrics:

Better People Lyrics

you people saving whales,
giving your thanks to our seas
my respect to the ones in the forest,
Standing up for our old trees

CHORUS:
Them giving food to the hungry
giving hope to the needy
giving life to a baby
giving care for free
there is freedom around us
We have everything we need
I will care for yo… Continue

Hi Theresa, Thank you, I have s0 many questions, not sure where to start, if there is anything you can tell me that might be useful to know, or any good points and bad points that you found when you went? Thank you :-)

Hi Theresa,

I my CCS Trip to Peru was amazing and I'm sure you will like it as well. The Country Director Enrique "Kique" was amazing and made sure that everyone was comfortable and happy.

I'd like to take my next CCS trip to Tanzania and your page has been very helpful. So did stay in Kilimanjaro or Rural Kilimanjaro? Again your pictures and video are worthy of National Geographic.. :-)

Take care

Yes! We met them all. They were all wonderful! Our group had the place to ourselves and we loved every minute of it. :)

I just got back to the States today, and I miss Tanzania incredibly.

Hujambo Theresa. I am heading to Kili July of this year (2009). First, thank you for sharing your videos. Second, what was the weather like as far as temperature? I read 50 degrees lows and 70 highs. Does that sound right? Also, did you wear skirts the whole time volunteering and pants etc when not working? Is there anything you just wished you had brought the most? : )

Hi Theresa, I am heading to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in May and im getting really excited and if you dont mind I have a couple of questions... How much Swahili did you know before you left..ive learned some so far, I was going to worry about currency exchange when I got there is that a good idea or should I bring most of it, and is there anythign you suggest bringing and/or not brining along with my travels! Thanks and ps. I looked at some of your videos and they were really neat!

Hi Theresa---I am getting ready for my trip and I was wondering what type of money you brought with you. Is it easier to travel with cash or travelers checks in TZ? I was thinking of bringing all cash. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks, Kelly

Thanks for your response. Both my friend and I do not have any formal medical training. Do you think that that would seriously prevent us from participating in the medical clinics in Tanzania? Also, have you herd anything about the medical clinic in Kilimanjaro specifically?
Thanks!
