Two new volunteers - Alexandra and Isla

Alexandra Stewart and Isla Findlay are the latest gap-year volunteers to go out to Buguruni. Here are pictures of them looking very glamorous; we expect that at the moment, they are probably a bit more dusty, dishevelled and hot than this!

Isla (planning to be a primary school teacher)

Alexandra (planning to study archaeology)

They have joined Izzie and Lucy, who were there already. Matilda told us that the girls are doing really well and having lots of ideas. She sounded very upbeat, so I think they are helping her a lot. In Tanzania, visitors are seen as a treat and a gift, so having four lovely cheery young people will be a great uplift for Matilda. 

One day I might even have a picture of the volunteers doing some actual work. Until then, we hear that Alison Bissett and Michelle Hawkins are looking after them and ensuring that it's not all work and nuns.
