Vhq07 Serve Beer 8000 Listen

Solarpräsentation die erste

Solar presentation

8:00 As it should be for "German punctuality" Jonas and I stand in front of our office and wait for our boss with the key.



8:30 8:15 ... The boss is there, the key does not, another colleague has it.

8:35 The key is there, we enter the office.

9:00 Eigentlich hatten wir mal angedacht, um 9:00 los zu fahren, jetzt ist an die Abfahrt noch nicht zu denken. Flyer müssen noch gedruckt werden, der Techniker ist noch nicht da und Gwakisa, der die Präsentation durchführen wird, hat noch andere Arbeit zu tun.

9:30 Langsam kristallisiert sich heraus, dass wir die 2 benötigten Motorräder gar nicht zur Verfügung haben. Eins ist kaputt und mindestens eins wird von einem anderen Kollegen gebraucht.

9:45 Was tun? Ohne Motorräder können wir nicht fahren, die Kosten für ein Mietwagen sind, wie vorher festgestellt, einfach zu hoch. Vielleicht wird ja doch ein weiteres Motorrad gemietet, aber auch da reicht unser Geld nicht from.

10:00 Suddenly we can rent a car with driver but for a good price, we can not afford for all presentations, but the first presentation is backed up only once. Departure will be 10:30.

10:30 The car is not for the technicians.

11:00 The technology is there, now we can finally leave. The car is packed with the solar stuff.

11:10 Now we are just waiting for Gwakisa, but this has not work.

11:15 Gwakisa is there, now have to fast the last Flyer to be printed.

11:20 flyers are ready, but it turns out that actually Gwakisa do not know where to go.

11:30 Now we are waiting Ipyana, another colleague, who knows where to go and I will ride the bike forward.

11:35 Ipyana is there, he says we must hurry, actually we should all be there at 11:00.

11:45 All are ready, now is only waiting for Ipyana who do still something.

12:00 but now is really going on.

12:30 Arrival in Lugombo Village. Welcome, unpacking and building.

13:00 begins the solar presentation. I'm excited about 30 people and try to tell them something of SODIS principle, a process in which one with solar energy Water to sterilize.
13:05 Gwakisa does. Now Tujijenge is presented Microfinance and our Solar Loan.

13:15 Gideon takes the technician, he says something about how gross solar systems and answered numerous questions.

13:50 The last question was answered. People are interested and want to leave it here all mobile phone recharge by solar power. Firm commitments to purchase, they do not make them. The interest is there, the money does not necessarily. So we travel without any from a contact, but have, however, the feeling of having held a successful presentation. Potential readers want to now the next day in our office report, we'll see how many people will come.


All in all a successful presentation that was in my view, very professional. There was some coordination problems are still with the Flyers, the first had been recently completed. Also, we should perhaps examine again the groups in which we make the presentations, this group is to focus their income mainly from agriculture and the main selling season for rice is only in June.
Nevertheless, a promising start to a hopefully successful series of presentations. Above all, it is reassuring to make notes that will be provided without delay despite successful work problems.

Dry Forehead After Hair Wash

Dala fahren auf Sansibar

Ein richtiger Luxus an unserer Unterkunft auf Sansibar beim Haus von Said, dem Gastvater von Christopher, war der dazugehörige Bulli, den wir nach belieben benutzen durften um so flexibler zu sein.

Problem war nur: Der Bulli war ein 8sitzer, wir waren aber bis zu 14 Leute, von leider auch keiner einen internationalen Führerschein dabei hatte. Was wir hatten war ein Original Deutscher Führerschein von Basti und eine ausgeblichene Schwarz-Weiß Kopie von Lenny. Hätte uns die Polizei also angehalten, hätte es ganz schöne Probleme gegeben.

Denn klar, man hört ja immer wieder von korrupten Polizisten in Afrika, die gerade Weißen das Geld unter fadenscheinigen Begründungen förmlich pull from his pocket.

Wait, would you want his image of Africa is not perhaps a little bit of thinking? Especially since I'm here so in Tanzania, as one should like to close all of Africa? If one were to exclude from the act of a German policeman equal to the conduct of all police officers in Europe?


Incidentally, a point on which we have been talking to the seminar: How do I report from Tanzania? For generalization (Africans, Africa) easily lead to distorted images. And honestly, who would have thought not secretly, "but I've always known it," on my comment on an allegedly corrupt police officers here Zanzibar?

dispel these prejudices is my view that is also part of my work.


Although we were determined 10 times stopped by a police barrier, we had never once paid a bribe.

This was also determined in our very good knowledge of Kiswahili. But it also showed that the police were there not only on the make. For that they had received no further.

precisely the lack of international driver's license would already have been a reason to demand money, but we could always check with a friendly conversation.

The number of people was certainly a problem, especially outside of the car was also drauf stand, dass das Auto nur für 8 Personen ausgelegt ist. Doch auch hier konnten wir mit dem Argument überzeugen, dass wir ja alles sitzen würden, keiner stehe und wir langsam fahren würden.

Schmiergeld floss also keins, man sollten bei tansanischen oder schlimmer, verallgemeinert afrikanischen Polizisten nicht immer nur an Korruption denken. Die gibt es hier, ohne Zweifel, aber eben nicht nur.


Ein Problem ist da eher ein ganz anderes, denn die Polizei hat ja auch in Tansania für Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr zu sorgen und der war bei einem so voll besetzten Auto mit Leuten im Fußraum und im Kofferraum nicht gewährleistet. Doch fehlende Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr ist meist (nicht immer!) traurige Realität im tansanischen Alltag. Nicht immer, aber einen Gurt findet man fast nie vor.

Unter diesen Voraussetzungen war es dann aber natürlich wiederum eine schöne Erfahrung, dass da bei Weißen nicht auf Strafe gepocht wurde sondern ebenso wie bei Tansaniern ein oder sogar beide Augen zugedrückt wurden. Obwohl es natürlich wünschenswert wäre, wenn gewissenhafte Kontrollen dazu führen würden, dass alle Menschen sicherer fahren.. Aber dazu fehlen hier oft einfach die Voraussetzungen, wie zum Beispiel Gurte in den Autos.


Vielleicht waren unsere Fahrten mit dem Bulli also nicht ganz überlegt, aber die Fahrer waren sich immer ihrer Verantwortung bewusst und fuhren bewusst defensiv.

And still it was great fun. Be it the many times where we played Dala Dala Tanzanian passengers and tried to get into the car to take them for free (we even get one), the story was about a night of Bulli a few feet rolled forward and destroyed a wall had and my personal favorite: Basti as a driver, as he told the police at the roadside that he would come tomorrow for sure by furnish his license: "For we are a swimming team and come here every day at our training to make here at the beach "

Well just that we the next morning at dawn, the island towards Dar-es-Salaam have left ...

Projekt Nummer eins gestartet

As you may know it does not participate here in Kyela my job at the Bank of Tujijenge, but building on existing structures to develop their own project.
Thus we now started a project last Thursday with a trial run. In this project we will hold in the villages near Kyela Solar presentations. On Thursday, the first presentation was made to the staff of TMF place with many good comments and suggestions. learn more details about the project can be found here on my blog under the "About my project" at the top of the page under the heading. The first real
Präsentation soll am Montag stattfinden und da immer noch nicht alles wirklich fertig vorbereitet ist, bin ich doch mal sehr gespannt ob unser Plan in erfüllung geht - immerhin haben wir daraufhin konkret seit Ende Dezember hingearbeitet.
Es mussten Kosten kalkuliert, ein entsprechender Projektgeldantrag an die DTP und Tarea gestellt, mit dem Techniker über Details gesprochen, Telefonate geführt, ein Flyer erstellt und überprüft und noch einiger anderer Kleinkram erledigt werden.
Jetzt sind die Vorbereitungen abgeschlossen und ich bin gespannt, was aus der Präsentation am Montag wird.

Luxus

Nachdem Jonas und m
ir während den drei Wochen zusammen mit den anderen Freiwilligen aufgefallen ist, wie bescheiden wir doch hier in Kyela leben, haben wir uns dazu entschlossen, langsam etwas Luxus in unser Leben hier fließen zu lassen.
Luxus natürlich nicht wie in Deutschland, aber einige Dinge machen einem das Leben doch um einiges einfacher hier.
1) Kühlschrank nutzen: Seit Anfang Dezember haben wir jetzt einen Kühlschrank bei uns im Esszimmer stehen. Damit kann man natürlich viele tolle Dinge anstellen. Alleine bei den Temperaturen hier immer kühles Trinkwasser zu haben ist schon echt angenehm.
Doch nicht nur Wasser steht bei uns im Kühlschrank...
2) Frischer Saft. Saft zu kaufen ist irgendwie ziemlich teuer, denn es gibt ihn meist in einem der 3 kleinen Supermärkte hier in Kyela. Früchte here are indeed very güngstig and as Anna the art masters from pineapple, banana and papaya or avocado juice to produce a very refreshing, we have always eien morning breakfast juice.
3) soda. Also for soda, so Fanta, Coke and Co. always room in our fridge. As we are now always buy an entire case, we do not even remember much of drastic Preisanstig the 0.35 bottle in the restaurant by 20 percent to 30 cents. What could be better than completely drenched in sweat and tired of coming home and at first to drink a cold Fanta?
4) marmalade. Also plenty of room for jam is there, homemade of course. 4 kilos of fruit, Jonas and I now processed into jam, one mango and one pure mango and pineapple, very tasty, even if the perfect blend of lime juice and sugar is still not found by us.
5) bread. Who's jam, of course, must also eat bread. Normally there is only bread in Tanzania, but also because Anna helps us strong, giving us fresh bread baking.
6) milk. Recently, we also have the opportunity to get fresh milk. Which is then boiled and enjoyed either hot or cold. The idea to buy cocoa is already there, not yet accomplished.
7) The final touch of milk and an air bridge is, there is the idea of \u200b\u200bpudding, of course, not far away. Pudding. Real delicious pudding with homemade beater (from a plastic bottle) beat until creamy. Really a delicious luxury.

Maybe I need to return to Germany is not so much but get used again.

is like life really so in Tanzania? Missing you had not noticed many things from home? Just eat something because technically it is determined monotonous, right? Not even something sweet in between? Only breakfast, lunch, dinner, nothing in between?

Yes, actually does all that. Something in between here eat the least. At work, there are at most a few times Peanuts and home maybe a few mangoes or other fruits. But real sweet? In Dar es Salaam

this is no problem there, you can go to Mlimani City, go to a huge shopping center, where you get everything, whether chocolate bars, gummy bears or delicious biscuits.
But in Kyela is there somewhere, of course not, so I am dependent on something else to me from time to time but to enjoy a bit of chocolate or a biscuit can: My airlift.
The Post is here in Kyela so confident that the post here (with one exception) always arrives. (And even the exception was after 2 months to intact). Postcards from Spain, Christmas cards, ordinary letters and large envelopes up to a kilo.
And especially in these large letters is a great place much store. Chocolate, homemade Christmas cookies, sweets, magazines, newspapers, books, photos, DVDs and more.
And since my parents send me letters always busy, I can go almost every other week to the post to me to pick up a new care package. So here's why I've
never the problem, nothing sweet as to have when I'm on the afternoons comfortable sofa to read.

The parcels are in the photo but not from my parents and were also non-thought for me but for my family and neighbors, a Christmas gift to our predecessor, Anna.

There's Blood In My Phlegm

Immerhin bequemer als laufen...

The only problem at the volunteer house in Mafinga is that you always run about 45 minutes in the place if you need to run errands. But who knows, maybe it is but yes also the advantage due to its remoteness.
Yet it is of course always very stressful to deal with this walk, especially since there is still a mountain on.
But not on a day when we in the village below Godwin, a friend, met, who was there with his car. Godwin is a former graduate Mafinga, that formed in the area of renewable energy, which now tries to bring up their own business in the area.
He had not a great car, only a Japanese version of a golf estate, actually designed for 5 people. Actually ... but no matter.
We nunmahl 10 people plus Godwin were closer together, we had a little bit.
The two who sat together in front on the passenger seat, had it still reasonably comfortable. The four people on the rear bench is basically not a problem. It becomes difficult only when have to squeeze in the trunk to 3 people and one person even right across the car was ... Pole Carlotta.
Despite the lack of space we were still well protected and rested in the volunteer house at ...

Eine abenteuerliche Busfahrt.

If you want to travel longer distances in Tanzania you take the best coach. You get decent tickets, has a place for themselves, sometimes even get a soda donated and usually arrives at its destination with relative ease.
Mafinga On the journey from Dar es Salaam that was unfortunately not the case. From
Mafinga there is only a direct connection to Dar es Salaam, the Mafinga Express.
The leaves from the central bus station, so it is unfortunately the volunteer house about 45 minutes away on foot. However, since a friend from Dar es salaam was accidentally with his car in Mafinga, he could bring us down in the morning at half past 8 in two carts in the city - so the plan.
But as his car just in this Morgen nicht anspringen wollte und seine Batterie erst einmal fachmännisch geputzt werden musste, kam bereits die erste Hälfte von uns fast zu spät zum Bus. Also mussten die Freiwilligen den Busschaffner erst einmal überreden, noch ein wenig zu warten. Der wollte aber unbedingt pünktlich los und so kam es zu einer großen Diskussion, in der wir lediglich immer behaupten konnten, die anderen würden jeden Augenblick ankommen. Eigentlich eine tansanische Spezialität und so wurde der Schaffner auch von anderen Leuten ausgelacht, hier hätte er es nicht mit Wazungu sondern mit Wabongo (Tansaniern) zu tun. Die anderen kamen aber nicht und so wurde unser Gepäck wieder aus dem Bus geschmissen und andere Fahrgäste durften einsteigen. Als die anderen dann doch kamen war es schon fast zu spät, aber es reichte noch, um die neuen Gäste wiederum hinaus zuschmeißen und um unsere angestammten Plätze einzunehmen.
Die Fahrt an sich verlief dann erst einmal recht ruhig, allerdings nur bis kurz hinter Mikumi, als sich die Autos vor uns plötzlich stauten und eine schwarze Rauchwolke auf der Straße vor uns auszumachen war. Ein Tanklaster war in den Straßengraben gefahren, beim Versuch wieder heraus zu kommen waren seine Reifen durchgedreht und hatten Feuer gefangen. Der Fahrer konnte sich noch retten aber für die nächsten 3 Stunden war die Straße unpassierbar geworden. Die Feuerwehr kam zwar durch, konnte aber gegen das brennende Benzin nicht viel anrichten.
Meanwhile, came from the rear cars and buses more and more onlookers who wanted to watch the fire from the Middle and retreated only when a large explosion with associated fire ball a little. could then
After the truck was nearly burned out the first 30 cars to pass each of two directions - unfortunately our bus had the number 31 Therefore we had to wait a half hour until the fire brigade had won but then with foam to fight the fire.
So sit back, sleep and wake up again in Dar es Salaam-nothing there. Even after 20 minutes when we had arrived in Morogoro first end to the trip because our bus was broken. What exactly, that we knew nicht, aber es reichte, dass wir in einen anderen Bus umsteigen mussten.
Das war jedoch kein leerer Ersatzbus sondern ein ganz normaler voller Reisebus, indem nun etwa 20 Personen stehen mussten. Da das aber ja auch nicht ganz der Sinn eines Reisebusses ist schritt die Polizei ein und ließ alle stehenden Passagiere wieder aussteigen. Da standen wir nun also ganz ohne Bus da. Doch dank eines netten und hilfsbereiten Polizeibeamten kamen wir dann doch noch zu unserem Bus – der Polizist hielt einfach so lange die Busse an bis er einen fand, in dem noch Platz war und der in Richtung Dar es Salaam fuhr. Die letzten 2 Stunden saßen wir also in diesem Bus. Warte, nur 2 Stunden? Naja, 2 Stunden Fahrt und nochmal 3 Stunden Stau, diesmal ganz ohne Unfall einfach only the usual rush hour traffic in Dar es Salaam. Finally we came
so until about midnight exhausted in the volunteer house. Exhausted, but happy and with great appetite for the already finished, prepared by Asia, the good soul of the house spaghetti.

The Example Of Thank You Letters *

Heiligabend


I had told so many times in advance so proper Christmas spirit could not bear with me, I was quite surprised when I evening on 24 sat there and it felt like Christmas.
The day itself started very poorly to as Christopher had been up all night - not because of the anticipation of the presents but because of malaria. So needed after a somewhat hectic Christmas breakfast with bread and honey Raphael and drive it first with the motorcycle to the hospital in Iringa. We
other volunteers spent but a very, very typical Christmas Eve. Partly it was with saw and ax in the forest around a Christmas tree to beat. We even found a conifer and did not have to fall back as the advent of a palm tree.
lunch was then chocolate, sweets and a homemade shooting star decorated and everything prepared for the mess. Afternoon were then played cards and of course watched Pippi Longstocking - Michel had Lönneberga unfortunately no one there. At 5
clock it was dann in die Weihnachtsmesse. Zwar waren außer uns Weißen am Anfang nur 3 oder 4 Tansanier da, doch da der Gottesdienst eh erst um Halb 6 anfing, war das kein Problem. Sogar Raphael und Christopher kamen noch pünktlich zum Beginn und auch während des Gottesdienstes, in dem deutsche Weihnachtslieder mit Texten auf Kiswahili gesungen wurden, kamen noch ständig Gäste herein.
Nach dem Gottesdienst gab es dann erst das Weihnachtspilau, dann die Geschenke (Wir haben uns allen gegenseitig im Wichtelprinzip was geschenkt) und abschließend gab es einen gemütlichen Abend zu Kaminfeuer,Gesang, Kerzenschein, Weihnachtsoratorium und tollen Gesprächen.
Es war also ein gemütlicher und friedlicher Abend, dank der Lage Mafingas in the highlands it was actually really cold and I was happy with my battered wool sweater.
Only my family I was missing a little bit, because it was a strange feeling to be able to do them suddenly only over the phone Merry Christmas ...

Auf den Spuren Mkwawas

Since it is in the volunteer house Mafinga very comfortable we have spent much time just with Sleeping, eating, baking cookies, playing chop wood, and discuss. Nevertheless, one had to tell after such a long time a lot. But at some point it was too boring for us and we ascended in the Dala Mafinga to Iringa and migrated there in the footsteps Mkwawa.
Mkwawa was the leader of the Hehe one in Iringa region of local tribes. A tribe called here in Tanzania, a larger population group has its own language and often a partially independent culture. In Europe, people would say, for example, in the eyes of Tanzanians, the Basques as a tribe.
Here in Tanzania, the tribal affiliation still plays a big role and if you look somewhere before presenting it comes time that we call not only the name and work but also the tribe. However, the nationality is different than in other African countries a little more important.
Mkwawa was then leader of the Hehe, a warlike tribe, in times of German colonial rule. Since the Germans wanted to expand
Iringa as a military base there was an uprising, known as Uprising Hehe. During this time Mkwawa took a prominent rock in the immediate area of \u200b\u200bIringa to meditate and to anticipate the next steps of the Germans.
has used it, unfortunately, nothing, as the Germans defeated the Hehe a cruel starvation tactics eventually, but the stone from which one can enjoy a wonderful view over the city, you can climb even today.

Peroxide For Genital Herpes

In der Fremde zu Hause

Almost 3 weeks I was on the road, I saw many new things and a great time spent with my friends. And just as I had been looking forward earlier after a vacation to get back home, I have me last night when I finally got in Kyela, got my new home.
already at the bus station greeted me joyfully a former colleague and took me in his car the few steps home. At home, the children danced and ran towards me. And Anna was happy to see me again.
I felt really comfortable and at home and am incredibly happy to find such a home in a foreign country to have.

Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Is It World Wide

Ferien

much I have experienced in recent weeks and only a few I can report here are more accurate reports aber ganz sicher noch nach.
In Mafinga habe ich wunderbare Weihnachten mit Kälte, Weihnachtbaum, Geschenken, Kaminfeuer und tollem Essen erlebt. Die Fahrt nach Dar es Salaam war abendteuerlich mit Tanklasterexplosion und Stau gespickt, die ersten Tage auf Sansibar von Durchfall gekennzeichnet, auf Sansibar habe ich tolle Strände, nette Leute, viele Wazungu, leckeres Essen, komische nette Polizisten und tolle Momente erlebt. An Sylvester gabs eine große Party mit viel Musik und Tanz.
Das muss fürs erste reichen, Morgen gehts auf meine Zwischenseminar nach Bagamoyo und am 11.1. bin ich aller voraussicht nach zurück in Kyela.
