Getting ready and excited!

Getting very excited to accompany Astrid, Kelsey and Shana on this wonderful journey (along with my sister and Norrie)!  A few tips that I thought all of you may find helpful:
    Keep bugs away with Ultrathon
  • If you have an iPhone 4S or higher you can call your carrier and they will unlock your phone.  In TZ, you then purchase a new SIM card, insert and buy minutes.  Essentially, your phone becomes a Tanzanian phone.  A former student mentioned that the SIM cards are larger in size in TZ; she trimmed hers a bit and her phone worked seamlessly.
  • Ultrathon Insect Repellant- 12 hour- has provent to be very helpful
  • TZ has Standard Treatment Guidelines and an Essential Medicine list.  From what I can determine it appears that they were updated in July 2013.  The URL is very long so just Google TZ Standard Treatment Guidelines.....and the PDF for 2013 will be readily apparent. 
See you all very soon!  Jill
