Yesterday was World Workers Day, or Mei Mosi, an
international holiday celebrating all workers and their triumph over
exploitation. I had known for a few
weeks that we would not be having classes (I know, I was surprised that I knew
something in advance too!) however it wasn’t until about 5 minutes before I
left school on Tuesday that I found out that the celebration wouldn’t be
starting until 1 in the afternoon, not 7:30 in the morning as I had thought… I
am always at least one step behind! So yesterday I got to sleep in and enjoy a
stormy morning from my home. The Mei
Mosi celebrations consisted of a few hours of speeches (which made the afternoon
feel more like a meeting than a celebration), soda and peanuts, and music and
dancing. I’ll spare you the playlist,
but I will say that Tanzanians cant get enough Celine Dion! But despite all of that I couldn’t help
thinking that I am really going to miss this place when I leave!
