my stay in Leguruki has soured slightly. But from the beginning: On Sunday departure was announced in Moshi. After Godi farewell to Clive and Bodil for an indefinite period. How long? Maybe 2 years? Or 5? Who knows ...
went to a nice lunch in Moshi indoitalianischen's for us to continue and Kin'gori Leguruki and once again we have the Tanzanian Kondaktas deducted. Well, how was I supposed to know, what does the bus for the ordinary citizens? For us, at any rate 2000 instead of the usual 1000th They should I sometimes come to Germany!
were very much faster than we expected at the junction to "Leguruki Educational Training Center" or whatever, the compound may be called straight. Ratzefatze we went even further with a small bus to the north, I barely had time to shoot pictures. The traffic in this originally very remote region in recent years has become much denser, the buses are much larger, but also the potholes. The open pickups, with which you were riding often before the age of 7, are open-bar disappeared, now there are only high-tech buses, hoho.
Well, we arrived at the school center in flux, so that Anja, where we could come under the following 2 nights, not even back from a trip was their farewell visit. (In less than a week now and we will remove the sails and the melancholy escalates slowly becoming high.)
Her friend Alex and his friendly chatterbox daughter Vanessa were just visiting, so we just for 2 days to five the Volunteershaus populated and consistent on time this morning, the drinking water supply was running low. Until at least noon tomorrow is so fashionable dry shower, which saves expensive to washing towels ...
Well, somehow everything is as usual. Nevertheless, a few changes: A lot of new houses are built been, the workshops are partially moved, was from canteen, joinery, a children's garden and the corn mill in between a "Business Site", which is ominous for reasons of close to bankruptcy. The school has a legacy of Wazungus now 3 cars instead of one and the sponsored ages ago IVECO trucks now only a more or less brightly painted scrap heap.
was really sweet that I discovered in the nursery school a few kiddies who presented me proud of her blue backpacks, to read where "church district Bautzen" was. A small project facilities to the students with school supplies, which ich im letzten Advent mit einigen Rucksäcken, gefüllt von Gemeindegliedern in Schönfels und Altenburg unterstützen konnte.
Die Anzahl der Schüler ist seit meiner Zeit auf dem Gelände infolge der Angliederung einer Secondary School fast verdoppelt worden, entsprechend mehr Klassenräume und Unterkünfte für Schüler gibt es jetzt.
Vom ehemaligen Personal ist leider nicht mehr viel übrig: Die mühsam vom WFD-Berater trainierten Headmaster sind inzwischen beide anderswo unterwegs, die beiden vom SES-Experten Fritz Berghuber ebenfalls gut ausgebildeten Elektriker verdienen an anderen Orten mehr Geld und außer Anja gibt es momentan nur noch einen hellhäutigen Neuseeländer auf dem Fair, something has to agriculture on his hat.
One could say: there was probably after I left a multi-year high, according to a new structure one of me only in color set "Master Plan" which was to dream little left, worked with decisive leadership, pale-faced organization professionals to some extent.
But now, after they leave it running, as it always went. The money, if there are moves for which, in dubious black holes, private pockets or foolish investments and the management seems at times almost nothing. One can only shake his head.
I must admit, on issues the so-called "Sustainability" I stopped quickly to make my illusions. For me it was helpful to know that this or that project went well or better as long as I was just there. If the locals take back their own style and then drive the truck in the sand (but then what is not always the case), I can only say: Pole sana, then you have the most wanted. It is sad, miserable, but apparently not willed otherwise.
had a similar experience seems all my successor: It is often difficult to motivate people to something new, to implement any tiny idea unspeakably takes a long time and often loses nerve and courage, sometimes both. One can think at this point basically equal to about These kinds of "development aid", but this is probably again a different story.
Well, anyway. On our first evening we arrived, shook me quite a chill and a little fever. Somehow, somewhere I had me a stomach-intestinal infections have been captured, as it turned out later. First, I studied in Anya's library or malaria, and other chart and already feared to have to give my next blog entry a different title. So it was (fortunately?) In bad stomachache and sleep without end, which is now due to the stringent diet a bit besser geworden ist. Meine erste polysaccharide Nahrung für heute waren zwei Flaschen Cola zum Mittag, nach Salzstangen such ich noch; die sollen bei zugehörigen Symptomen helfen.
Nun, ich wollte die Zeit in Leguruki dennoch nicht im Bett verbringen und so traf ich mich am Dienstag, also gestern mit meinem damaligen Tischlerkollegen und Freund Yotam, der von meiner Ankunft schon über Anja erfahren hatte. Er freute sich riesig, mich wiederzusehen und lud mich nach einer längeren Plauderrunde inklusive Soda-Sponsoring spontan zu sich nach Hause ein. Damals war irgendwie nie was draus geworden. Oder ich war zu schüchtern. Oder was weiß ich.
Jedenfalls ist Yotam inzwischen proud owner of a not very small motorcycle, with which it myself, a quick fuel stop (see picture), including, in the hinterland kidnapped. He showed me his first actual construction site, a small house in which he would soon set up a small business and his own workshop. 
Then he chauffeured me to his house, received in the us his wife and two of his children. As a result of my belly-chaos, I could turn away a great dinner (which was probably a relief for both sides) and my gut feeling this time was more than just an excuse.
It was only a cup of hot tea with sluggish for my stomach too much milk and as I drank it too fast, hey presto, a second. But everything was wonderful and it was good to talk to him about current events, the events at the school and some others. Yotam described to me his point of view that reflects comparatively and objectively worked. I guess if he is so smart, he will work well not for long at the school.
We'll meet again - tutaonana. When and where, remains open for now.
tumbled in the afternoon we still on the weekly market in Kingori - always an experience. A few small souvenirs, flip flops for the folks back home and some food shops were this time all our shopping list.
Today Tomorrow's went for us on to Arusha, where we now take care of bus tickets 
need to tomorrow as early as possible to find the way back to Nairobi and Limuru.
Anja had for the better this morning a meeting in Arusha, so that they could sell us on the doorstep of the backpacker hostels in Arusha. It is also easy to find Backpackers!
Now I'm sitting up here on the terrace, pretty European style, and trying to eliminate the droning and honking to hide the screaming and squealing of road noise. Tanzanian seem to use the horn more often than the turn signal ...
Arusha war noch nie ein besonders freundlicher Ort, es ist laut und chaotisch und von Touristen teils übervölkert. Fast peinlich, momentan dazuzugehören. Aber, what shells, für einen Tag. Samuel ist grad nochmal auf der Piste, erobert die Stadt, macht Bilder, trinkt Tangawizi, was auch immer.
Von der beinahe letzten Station unserer Ostafrika-Rundreise grüßen Euch dennoch herzlich Philipp &Samuel
