Today, we gathered our bearings in Iringa. We started the day with a lecture on fluid mechanics by Paul. We were practicing real-life water transportation problems that we could apply to the villages.
After separating for lunch, we gathered together to have a Swahili language and culture lesson with Humphrey, a local Tanzanian. For a greeting, say, “Mambo,” and reply with “Poa.”
All of the students went on a hike to a nearby boulder after our lectures were finished for the day. None of us knew how to get there so we explored the city and enjoyed the journey together. We were lucky to make it up the hill and to the very top of the boulder before we had to rush back for dinner.
