The bicycles over here are incredible. Most tires are bald; most brakes do not work. We have a line of students at our door most days at the end of school.
They pump up their leaking tires and make a beeline for the ghettos before they go flat. The pumps available are equally unreliable, always needing a new hose or filter seal. We've put it on the Needs List for next year to bring a good one from the States.
This is a great out-of-class time for us to visit and get to know our students a little better. It also serves to inform us of who has a bicycle for hire when we need a bag of rice, beans, cooking oil or flour delivered from the village market.
Your Hands (the air pump) & Feet (the bicycles) in Tanzania,
