Thursday...

Peer to Peer Training
Today we shared with each other workshops. Yoga, Be True, Effective Communication, Team Building, A Culture of Peace, and a Vision for Our World. We were priviledged to share this day with 4 passionate young Tanzanians from "Training for Life".

Georgia - Canada
I am really honoured to have been part of such a talented group of facilitators and globally concious young people. I especially loved having the African perspective, cause it brought a great fresh angle to the things we are all passionate about. I have to head out tomorrow, but even though it was a short trip, it was totally worth it. I had forgotten what it's like to have energy of people like this around me. What a rush! Thanks for the great few days, see you soon!

Moses - Kenya
It was a very good day for me cause I have never been in conferance like this before. So you make my day. You are great people.

Dave - New Zealand
He was born in Tanzania, she in Holland. That one in the corner, next to the girl from Canada, he's from Kenya; the one at the table, he's drom Zanzibar, talking to the guy from Lithuania, next to the one from New Zealand, and the guys from everywhere, Ireland, NZ, Oz. They are all young and keen, with much to learn and much to give. They are all part of one generation, one time, one earth, one movement, one celebration and one common family. yeeooooooooooooowwwww!

Angus - Canada
Highlights of todays Peer to Peer Training activities: writing our personal barriers on flat pieces of wood and then breaking the wood with our hands. The perspectives and enthusiasm of the Tanzanian members. Listening to the visions each member has for the future of their country. Singing Maori (indigenous New Zealand) songs with an international group. Everyone having a fun time.

Aukje - The Netherlands
TODAY was why we put all this energy into organising this week! Angus did a great job inviting participants of the Training for Life program in Tanzania to our workshop day and it was ab-so-frick-in-lu-tely GREAT to mix with these great people, learning and sharing, making new friends. Exaud, Imani, Ninael, Domina and Barackel: THANK YOU! Super inspiring people and stories, lots of energy. Me happy :)

Jon - identity... confused
Singing Maori songs, arms linked, smiles, harmony... simply beautiful... Priceless!
Background noises from a 7 piece brass jazz band plus drums all squeezed onto the back of a small pick up truck roaming the streets, the chanting on loud speakers from the local mosque, the constant sirens of overloaded dala-dala (local buses) with drivers with a heavy horn hand, birds chirping... all at the same time.

Marius - Lithuania
Its cloudy almost constantly in Moshi. No sun in Africa? Ye, that's not what you would expect before you are here :)
But then again, we were really compensated today for the lack of sunshine. These young people make you believe Tanazania's got bright future.
