We had a late flight to Tanzania out of Rome that stopped in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for a three hour layover early the next morning. This was our first experience in Africa and we all had no idea what to expect, especially from the airport. We exited the plane and immediately went through an Ebola screening process. Basically, we just had our temperatures scanned. There were posters nearby detailing the symptoms with some lovely animations (think diarrhea) for international understanding. (I did take pictures but these were lost with the stolen ipad).

Asante sana in Swahili means thank you very much. We'd like to take this opportunity to say asante sana to all those who generously donated to the Canaan Orphanage and to tell you how our visit there went. 

Greetings from Zanzibar. I wanted to post a quick blog with an update of how things are going for the Collins crew. It's rare that I get to post in real time.
