We arrived in Tanzania! From Kilimanjaro International Airport we travelled to Kibaoni village, where we will be staying for the following 3 months to build the community library. Kibaoni was welcomed us with opened arms!
First participants have arrived and Mr. Matoli, Kibaoni´s friendly Chairman, has showed us the village and its sorroundings. We have been in Kasirwa visiting previous works from Orbe Design Studio and buying some vegetables from local gardens. Kibaoni and Kasirwa´s local architecture has surprised us for the use of local materials such as earth, wood, banana leafs, etc.
We have visited the site where the project will be located, next to Kibaoni Primary School. Talking with the teachers and the engineers we decided the best location and orientation for the building.
Tanzania Goes Mud!
