our lives in small town, East Africa

it's official: we're moving to Tanzania!

Justin and I will both be working on a HIV prevention project through the university. He'll be full-time, I'll be part-time while I finish my PhD. The project is slated to last 4 years, though it will likely go longer.

It's very exciting for both of us, though not so much for Juma. He's very sad to leave his great friends and wonderful school, naturally. But we have found a great English-speaking international school for him, which I am sure is filled with wonderful friends for him.

We will be in Iringa, which is the same city we lived in last summer. We'll be in the very same house, in fact, and have the same address:

PO Box 1441
Iringa, Tanzania

So we are packing up the house, and will spend about 10 days in Utah for the holidays before we go. 2012 in Tanzania!
