Morning: We would get up and get ready for the day, eat breakfast with our fellow volunteers which was cooked for us by our incredible chef, Primo. We would then get into the vans with fellow volunteers and be dropped off at our placements. I volunteered at Bridge Nursery School. Volunteering at Bridge began each morning with singing and dancing with our kids, then we moved into our classrooms. I helped teach English, simple math (adding/subtracting/counting), letters, shapes, and colors to a classroom of 4 and 5 year olds.
Afternoon: After class we would spend time outside playing with the kids and help with one-on-one attention to some of the children. After placement each day we were picked up and driven back to our home-base for lunch. When we finished lunch we would walk into Moshi Town and do some shopping with fellow international volunteers and local volunteers. Some days we returned for Kiswahili or cultural lessons. Some days we went on culture trips with some of the CCS staff to see different towns and villages, Maasai Markets, etc.
Evening: We would then return in the evening for dinner, again, cooked by Primo. After dinner we would visit with fellow volunteers, plan for our volunteer placement the following day, and e-mail/call family members back home.
