Day 16: Temple Visit

Another trip to Mwanza today! Visited a Hindu Temple with Priyanka. The woman (Neesha) who sells Paula her plastic chairs gave us a tour of the temple. Fascinating and kind of tiring with all the deities. Neesha was a wonderful and gracious guide. The temple was cool (temperature wise) and super clean. Touched a cow sculpture/fountain for the blessing. There is a very large Indian community in Tanzania, but mostly in urban areas. Many businesses are Indian-owned. These are not expats though!


A large group of new volunteers arrived from Iowa today. We were running around like crazy trying to help IHP get ready for them.
