Introduction

The following is a transcription of my travel journal from my January, 2007 journey to Moshi Tanzania to volunteer at KIWAKUKKI (KiSwahili acronym that means “Woman in Action Against AIDS in the Kilimanjaro Region”)

My objective was to go and do some computer training. What I ended up doing was slightly modified. I knew this from the onset when I initially planned on going and I went there knowing that my plans were not necessarily God’s plans.

I have to remark that living joyfully in whatever one does is a great blessing and I spent my entire time there, regardless of what happened, in a state of joyful mindfulness of the experience.

I was, and continue to be truly blessed.

There are additional comments throughout the journal. These were written during the transcription and are basically afterthoughts.

Also, you will find links throughout the journal. I included these to add some depth to the experience.
