On Saturday, June 20, our students departed for a new host family and a new setting to begin their Service Term, the second half of SST. Stay tuned for more updates about the communities in which the students are living and the volunteer work they're doing with nonprofits, community organizations, and municipal governments!

Service Visits!
Mar 12 2023
Sunday March 12
Our silence on the blog has been noticeable perhaps! We have let the students settle into their service placements and now we are about to launch our service tour to visit each of them. We will leave Monday morning March 13 and visit Nyayero (Irving), Shirati (Annalise, Annika, Tyson), Mugumu (Adrian, Rachel), and Kemgesi (Billy and Emily). We will return Monday, March 20th and then visit the students in Musoma (Destiny, Naomi, Saroj, Trevor). So stay tuned, we will try to post along our journey.
In the meantime, I asked students to send some pics of their time on service, so see the gallery below for a brief window into their lives to date. More details coming this week!
