Not "Good-bye"

As we made preparations to leave Babati and move to Dodoma, we had the opportunity to get together with friends who have been a part of our lives during the past 3 years. These people have shared their lives with us, invited us into their homes, and made us feel a part of life in Tanzania. We have experienced births, deaths, and celebrations ranging from Rhamadan to Christmas to birthdays to just "hanging out".

A common Tanzanian expression is "You are warmly welcome". Without a doubt, these people have made us "warmly welcomed".

 


Gratefully, we did not have to say good-bye.....only "tutaonana" (see you).
