One Last Interview – Saturday Tanzania 2014

November 16, 2014 by Grassroots

I cried today. Being brought up in Africa, I grew accustomed and somewhat impervious to the suffering and poverty around me.

More musings from Graham plus two others So, Swaya today. Early start; up at 7:00 for a departure from Karibuni at about 8:45.
