It is August 26, my birthday! I was supposed to be in Korea eating Korean BBQ on this day, but instead I am still in Tanzania. [I have edited the original post here in order to protect the privacy of individuals back in TZ. Suffice to say, many things happened during my last days in TZ, and at the last minute I decided to stay in the country to assist in whatever way I could]...
Friends, I cannot even relate to you the emotions and feelings I have endured during my time here. My "problems" are completely inconsequential compared to the struggles people here have to endure. I know I have changed immensely, and I am grateful for that, but my fear is that when I return to America I will not be the same person, the same friend, the same teacher. Life in America is so easy. After one has lived here, even for 6 weeks (as I will have), nothing in the world can ever look the same again.
