The big move!

The day finally arrived when the new house was secure enough for Sarah, Malchiory and Armstrong to move in. As there is no way Malchiory could afford transport to move his furniture Adam, I and a couple of the other volunteers offered to help him. We turned up at his house mid afternoon one Saturday to find him still packing. We waited, and waited and waited. Finally as dusk was beginning to fall Malchiory said 'now it is time'. It turns out that if you are moving house in Tanzania you do it in the dark so that no one can see what you have! As we thought we were moving during the daytime we only had one head torch between us and there is a good mile inbetween the two houses - part of which is over a field! The furniture out here is so bulky that we decided the only way to carry was in traditional African style - on our heads! Not an experience we want to repeat in a hurry!
