Thanks to everyone for your support of the Tanzanian Blog Project that ran over the last week or so (I first wrote about why I was doing it here). dPS readers were a massive support while I was away in Tanzania – it was a wonderful experience to share my time at the disability hospital with you.
I’ve been back home after the trip for 5 days now and have almost gotten over the jet lag – however the impact of the trip continues as I process a lot of the stories that I heard and conversations that I had. It was an amazing week.
Many of you have asked for a place where you can see all of the stories we posted on the project blog in one post – so here it is. I’ve broken it down into two parts – Photo Summary posts (which I know many of you enjoyed) and the story/video posts.
For those of you who received the email about the trip – you’ll have probably seen most of Day 1 and 2 but not much of the rest.

Lastly – to those wanting to hear a bit more about what I learned about the trip as a ‘blogger’ – check out this post on ProBlogger.
