29/7: Induction

Today I had the induction to Arusha city and what to expect and not expect. I didn’t really see the city center, but there will be plenty of time for that later on. I meet a bunch of new people; Antonella from Italy, Marscha from the Netherlands, Theresa from Germany, Daniel, Barbara and Julian from Austria and other I don’t remember the names of. But these were the people that I got the induction with. In the morning I also meet some of the children, some hadn’t been picked up when I got back much later and Grace asked me if I could imagine someone just forgetting their child. In Arusha there are these dalla-dallas/dala-dalas, buses, that take you to many of the places you would want to go in Arusha. They are really full all the time though and really chaotic, so that will take a little to get used to. Apparently there was a political rally in Arusha last month where the police came and shoot at people, rather randomly it seems and Patrick, the grandfather, was also fit by some metal from a bomb or something. His party is called something like progress through development. I also got a Tanzanian simcard today!
