Thus, we start our journey to Mwanza, the place we will call home for at least the next three years. What better way to celebrate than with some awesomely curated articles for your reading pleasure? Enjoy, dear ones!
#1. Why do girls in developing countries stop attending school?
Unlikely answer: Because they reach the age of menstruation and their schools aren't equipped with the water, sanitary pads, and bathrooms that they need!

#2: Did you know 1 in every 2,000 Tanzanians is albino?
This statistic is substantially higher than in the United States, where one of about 17,000 people is albino. Due to continuing tribal beliefs about albinism, Tanzanian albinos are shunned and forced out of their communities. This story documents the life of 70 albinos living together in northwestern Tanzania.
