About Me

I love writing.  I journal in different ways - but this book came to life when I took my first trip to Tanzania Africa in 2009.  After living in a tiny village and experience the life of those that live there my eyes were wide open.  My heart was moved to write and share what I couldn't get off of my mind.  The vast differences and desire to learn was the basis for where this book began. I  hope that this book opens up your eyes to just how lucky we are in the USA! I also hope that this book helps your children or grandchildren learn the many differences in chores and their houses!   The children in Tanzania want to learn everything they can, they pray to go to school !  Enjoy Simeon and Sula's First Day of School - and lets help one another get excited to learn!

I traveled for the first time to Tanzania Africa in 2009. It was a life changing trip.  I saw families living in grass and mud huts, dirty water being used by animals and drank by humans, children walking miles to get this water for their families each day.  I experienced the same food options each day rice and beans along with living in the most tight knit and loving community.  How and why did I love what I was experiencing - it wasn't material goods it was heartfelt love and the kindness of neighbors helping one another something that was missing in the USA.  I was moved to help - You can find my nonprofit work at:  www.missionbarista.com  Karibu!
