Finally arrived in Tanzania

So after three flights and 16 hours later I arrived in Kilimanjaro airport, after only 2 hours sleep whilst travelling I was exhausted! W were met with a sign with my name on by the friendliest guy called Deo (Just like in the movies), he was so happy to see us! 
We had a 40 minutes drive to Arusha, we drove down some of the longest and straightest roads I have ever seen! We picked up David who was the guy we had been in contact for the placement he was really lovely. Everyone we have met have been so happy and cheerful. After arriving at the center we just spent some time relaxing and met everyone that lives here we were taught a few phrases that I really need to remember! In the afternoon we went to meet the children at the center which is only a five minute walk from the house, the children were so welcoming, they call me Teacher Amanda, they loved showing us around the center and their classrooms and their bedrooms, they asked so many questions about England's Queen and and Princesses. We were offered lunch which we had to accept as it is seen as rude to reject a gift it was interesting to try but wasn't very nice we had maize and a meat stew which wasn't a very nice texture!
We met all the other volunteers in the evening who were so lovely too us, and offered to take us shopping so we could buy snacks. Tiredness hit me rather harshly, so we headed to bed rather early that night, it felt amazing to be in a bed, even with a mosquito net up.
