Recently I had the good fortune to join a photo safari in Tanzania. We were a group of twelve previous strangers, that met at the Kilimanjaro Airport for a ten-day trip to follow the great migration.
One of our first stops was to be the Gyekrum Lambo Primary School in Karatu. I had visited government schools in India before and knew there would be a great need for school supplies, and more. Since I was allowed one more checked bag than I needed, I reached out to our trip organizer and confirmed what to bring. After spending about $100 at Target for art and school supplies, my additional bag weighed a comfortable 40 pounds. I was easy to transport and brought true joy to the children. Upon my return I received the following message:
Hope this email will find you well.
I am Samson Gladstone the headmaster at Gyekrum Lambo Primary School in Karatu. I am so grateful to write to you to express our special thanks to you, first for visiting my school and secondly for bringing us a bag with school supplies. We appreciated it so much. It have been useful to our children. May God bless you.
Hope you enjoyed your visit to our national parks. Thank you so much and be blessed.
Kindly,
Samson.
