REFLECTIONS FROM
“The
most memorable
relationship I had in Tanzania
was with my homestay mother...We
were able to connect despite her barely speaking any English. From the first day, she welcomed me into her family as though I was one of her own children...My favorite memory of my time in Africa was cooking with her. We’d sit on plastic stools around a bonfire outside, and we’d alternate cooking as she taught me the steps. While enjoying the fire’s warmth, one of us was always singing, and we frequently [paused to] laugh at my mistakes.
I will never forget her and the moments
we shared.” —Adrian Kalaw ’19
