The TunaHAKI children ending their yoga session with namaste. 

One of the many wild and ferocious animals that Jeanine and Nico encountered on their adventure. I was pleased to see that Nico remembered how to adjust the camera for macro photography. 

The children of TunaHAKI enjoying some of the gifts brought by the volunteers. 

Susan, fellow writer and friend of Jeanine. Thanks to her posts, we were able to stay up to date with what was happening in Africa while the Calabria’s were out of phone contact. Link to Susan’s blog.  

Scott Fifer, Director of the TunaHAKI Foundation, and the man who made this trip possible. He promoted the idea of taking yoga off the mat and to the children of the orphanage who enjoyed it immensely according to Jeanine. 

Doria and Jennifer, fellow volunteers at the orphange, enjoy a cold Coke, a drink everyone craved in the swealtering heat of the Tanzanian summer. Nico had to self impose a two bottle limit to allow for sleep. 

This mini-bus provided transportation for the group taking them to Moshi for shopping and to the TunaHAKI orphanage. 

While in Tanzania, both Nico and Jeanine joined a yoga retreat with friend Susan Reynolds. They enjoyed morning and evening classes held in this hut.  

After travelling for more than 18 hours, Jeanine and Nico arrived in Tanzania and stayed first at the Kilimakoyaro Mountain Lodge. When the clouds cleared, they had a great view of Kilimanjaro. 

Later in the day, Maya attended the Craft Fair at church with her grandmother while my father found his way to the Concord Public Library, returning with no less than a dozen books he purchased at the fair being held there. 

Natalie rocked on bass and Dave kicked in with vocals and guitar. 

Alex was tight on drums. 

Seth was great on vocals. 

Kyle did not seem the least bit nervous and the band sounded really good.
