My host family lives in Sikina, a subtown of Arusha about 30 km from TCDC. They are all so welcoming and kind. We have Mama Grace (mom), Baba Billi (dad), Kaka Patrick (older brother, about my age), Dada Suzie (older sister), Dada Sharon (middle sister), Dada Aika (younger sister), and Kaka Salim (youngest brother). Then there's me and Charlotte, another EWH participant who is from Denmark, and Julie, a girl from Arizona who has been here for 2 months but is leaving next week. There are also other people coming in and out all the time, since Baba Billi is the Ward Councellor. Everyone in the 3 neighboring villages has to come to him and get a stamp of approval for opening a bank account, obtaining a marriage license, etc. Night before last was Billi's birthday, so we celebrated with a nice dinner and a cake.
