The end of March was filled with lots of excitement including traveling to Dodoma, the capital of Tanzania, for the Art in Tanzania Talent Show and then celebrating my 25th birthday! April has been very busy for Frances and me, as we’ve made a lot of progress on the Mapinga plot development. I’ve attached the latest version of the Mapinga master plan for everyone to take a peak. We have the basic design complete for all the buildings, including an adaptation of my thesis project for the arts center! You can also learn more about the project on the Mapinga website: www.mapingaone.com. Click to enlarge.

I was able to go to church on Easter with another volunteer and some Tanzanians. There was a little confusion as to what time the mass started, but we eventually got there and actually ended up being early for the second mass. Rainy season has officially arrived; it’s unbelievable. I’ll be sure to send pictures of the rain in my next update!

I’m happy to hear spring has finally made its way to New England. Enjoy the picture collage and the master plan!

Lots of love,
Moriah
