I hate disappointments – especially in Tabora, because stuck here it seems like my whole life depends on this one thing. Like for example yesterday when I was going to have my first guitar lesson with the guy from the church but he didn’t turn up. I don’t know if I even wanted to play the guitar I think I just wanted to talk to someone new. That’s what it’s like in Tabora; you want to talk to anyone coming your way. Even a little chat with our askari is what we crazy Taboran people call a social event! So that was one of my Tabora disappointments. And another when I couldn’t get through to a friend of mine that I desperately wanted to hear from. And again it’s for they same reason, I wanted to talk to someone – badly!

Oh that’s so sad. Don’t give up hope though and be sure to track him down to get started on the guitar. Are there any other kids around or living nearby? What sort of things do they get up to to pass the time?
