My 21-year-old grandson, Andrew Carnahan, is working on a project this summer with World Serve International. He is based in Arusha, Tanzania, East Africa, near Mount Kilimanjaro.
But his job is to travel to villages in and around Singida, 4-5 hours south, to assess the need for clean water in an area where women and children often have to walk miles to get even impure water. The recent drought has parched the land making life more difficult for people and livestock. The pictures below tell the story.

Andrew described the food as “cheap,” and “pretty good.”
Meat, fried bananas, potatoes, and green vegetable.
Lunch is often a soup with toast and honey.
His daily breakfast, shown here for two: hard-boiled egg, white bread, half a banana, and tea.
A common foods in Singida is chipsli mayali, a potatoe/egg omlette. Sambusa in right corner is a meat pastry.
A meal of goat meat and rice welcomes his arrival in the village of Mukulu.
