The training is over.

Hamjambo!

Yesterday was the last day of our training. About 160 trainees spent 65 days in the traning center together.

The day before, we did the 10minutes presentation in the class. My classmates spoke about their job, hometown and so on in Kiswahili. I spoke about my students a little and Korean drums and the music. To be honest I couldn't understand all of what my classmates talked, however, I could understand most of their speech and I could ask some questions in Kiswahili. I realized what we have obtained for these two months, and I appreciated my teacher who taught us very patiently and enthusiasticly.

We gave present to my teacher after the last lesson, and my teacher said, " I am happpy that you made efforts. However you should continue to work hard even in Tanzania. Study study study until December, then you will be able to communicate well."

On the last day of the training, we had a graduation ceremony and reception. Thinking about the 65 days traning, it was not so long but not short, I had feeling something happy and sad to farewell friends, teachers and staff. We, the trainees, will be sent to over 25 countries all over the world, mainly Africa and Asia. I just hoped every trainees will be fine and do their assingment well and all of us will return to Japan safely two years later.

I will be at home until 24 June.

Asante sana. Kwaheri. Tutaonana tena.
