Hard to believe that it is our last day here in Karatu!

Yesterday was market day, and what a day it was…there were thousands of people there with vendors covering a space spanning about three football fields, selling everything from clothes to electronics to livestock and produce.

We were also there to see CPAR-Tanzania in action doing outreach work around sexual & reproductive health issues – the highlight being the condom demonstration!

This is the CPAR tent from which they run their outreach programs:

After the market wound down we walked over to a tent-come-restaurant to enjoy some Choma (BBQ) – a must have Karatu experience!

Here's Japhet, the Program Manager for CPAR-Tanzania, carving the Choma:

Today we had our wrap-up meetings here at the CPAR office and are having a little party out on the patio with, you guessed it, Choma.

Tomorrow we leave for Arusha and then on Sunday it will be on to Nairobi where we will spend one night before flying out…
