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!

They arrived!

We were delighted to welcome the SST Tanzania 2023 team this afternoon at the airport and they arrived right on time! After a brief pause for hydration and a few snacks, we rode our daladala (bus) to town.
Students quickly settled in to the YMCA – the cold showers were refreshing after the long travel. The day ended with a meal together at a downtown open air restaurant, with succulent East African cuisine. The menu was diverse, some had fish, chicken, and/or rice with beans. We ended the day early with free time in the evening and, for some, an early bedtime! Today’s activities were few, but what a big step – the journey has begun! Friday and Saturday will be filled with a variety of orientation activities, then Sunday we’ll attend church together and the students will go home with their host families.
