On Wednesday I went with the beginners class to Tia Nuru, an environmental project on the outskirts of Arusha. We went by a specially hired daladala - I sat in the front!
The students were very excited. They knew a bit about what to expect as the intermediate class had been the week before.
Tia Nuru comprises a beautiful artisan built 'cob' house and shamba. It has been built with reduce - reuse - recycle in mind and a lot of repurposing as well.
The students were interested in the compost toilet, surprised at its lack of pong but universally would not want one!
They had a go at making the cob mud mix and enjoyed dancing around in the mud.
It was definitely a worthwhile trip for the students to see an alternative way of living.
