    Hello Everyone! Just wondering if anyone is going to Moshi in October-December. I arrive October 18th and stay for 8 weeks. If so I'd love to get in contact with whoever is going, I am doing this on my own and am a little nervous.

    Also if anyone had done this I'd love to hear what you thought ... suggestions ... etc. Thanks so much!!

    Anyone travelling after their placement?
    I have booked my flight to come back on the 10th December from Zanzibar so I can travel for 11 days or so after the placement.
    I am quite scared about travelling alone!!

    Hi everyone,

    I was in Moshi in June and had a fabulous time. I have a website www.slippersofaloha.org that has the story of our trip with lots of pictures. Take a look if you like.

    Have a great trip.

    Hi sallyAust

    I was in Moshi for 1 week. I had to leave for a family emergency and am returning in January. I would suggest packing light clothes (something thin and that dries fast). It is HOT there right now and it's nice to have clothes that will dry fast when you sweat. Do you know where your placement is? If so maybe I can make some suggestions on what to bring. It is very cheap to buy stuff when you are over there so I would suggest not bringing tons of paper, etc because it can be bought there for a good price.

    I would also suggest bringing any kind of food you may be craving while you are in Tanzania. Even though water and Coke is cheap ... chocolate bars from the store are overpriced. I would suggest bringing books to read during downtime. One of the voulnteer houses has a DVD player so you can also bring a few movies if you want to watch some. Some movies are there already.

    Hmmm...what else to bring. Laundry detergent (unless u want to buy it there... I will bring a small amount to get me started)...Little things to give the children when you fee like giving them something. This can be pencils, a piece of gum, mini chocolate bar...anyhting really that you can think of.

    You're going to have a great time. The people are amazing...the staff at the house are welcoming and soooo nice. Any other questions you can email me at jilly_h@hotmail.com

    When are you going there? I may see you there??

    Hey Lucy,
    I'm doing the secondary schools teaching placement, which sounds like it could potentially be at any school in Moshi!
    Yeah, I'm also staying at the volunteer house, so see you there!

    I'm glad I know someone who will be there! I'm travelling at the end of next month, but if anyone going wants to talk to me my email is lucie_grace@hotmail.co.uk I'm really looking forward to it! Just wondering, how old are you? I'll be 19 when I'm there and I was wondering if that makes me younger than most people?

    went to moshi last feb- great place but watch out for ait safari rows- they dont like you going with other companies which are cheaper- also if donating money - buy things yourself as local staff inflate prices - do take mosquito nets- ones at house had holes in them. cheers chris
