Saturday June 5,2010- Zanzibar day 12

Saturday pretty much went the same way as Friday, only I had to just teach the wen so I showed up an hour and a half or so later than the rest of them. I caught up on laundry, because I hadn't done any in forever! We walked over by beach again as I prayed that the women would actually show up.

They eventually did, late, and we began to reteach the intro. The energy with the women was amazing and sething I hadn't seem yet. They would repeat everything Kesi said and would ask a lot of really insightful questions. After the intro a woman said," the reason we ask a lot of questions is because AIDS is a disaster and we want to know everything about however we can stop it. If you had a testing right now we would all go and test."

it felt amazing to hear something so powerful and important coming from them and we told them how wonderful that was and that we'd be sending them a mobile testing unit. Before we knew it we were done and the women thanked us again an we were on our way back home to eat.

To our surprise, the menu had changed from our original rice an beans to an array of vegetables, chips (fries), and grilled fish. Fillets! We were in such awe we didn't know what to do. The food was absolutely amazing and they promised to change up the menu for us for dinner from now on now that the hotel is actually open for guests and not just us.

Needles to say we all slept well Saturday night.
