They built bridges for us to cross over streams, held out a helping hand when we slipped and fell in the mud. \u00a0They answered what I\u2019m sure seemed like a thousand questions about the Swahili language and Tanzanian culture. They connected with each of us individually on this trip, and made all of us feel welcome and safe. \u00a0We will miss them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221;
