It's been a long time coming... but after four years of global education in the classroom and inspired fundraising for our school rainwater harvesting activities, 18 students, 4 teachers and 7 family members from Kildonan-East Collegiate in Winnipeg finally arrived in Karatu to meet the kids, teachers and parents of Qaru Lambo and Gilala primary schools, and experience some things that life here has to offer.
Our first stop was Qaru Lambo Primary School where the Kildonan and Qaru Lambo kids got to meet each other and hang out for a very full, wonderful day.

Everybody signed the school guestbook, visited all the classrooms, the students sang and the whole community got involved. They welcomed our guests with a sumptuous lunch and celebrated with drumming and dancing.
The Kildonan students reciprocated with a resounding rendition of the "Hokey Pokey". Hey, you can't go wrong with the "Hokey Pokey".
By the end of the day, the Qaru Lambo kids and the Kildonan kids were playing competitive games of soccer, volley-ball and netball.
And that was just the start of the adventure. Check out Kildonan's blog of their experiences at KEC Tanzania 2010
