#42 We travel the world through the children we see!

Anne continues with her photographing babies for her new book.

One of the babies had an Australian mother and a Tanzanian father. The mother met her husband whilst she was teaching Maasai children in Tanzania. (The United Republic of Tanzania is a sovereign state in central East Africa, and the Maasai are an indigenous African ethnic group of semi-nomadic people located in Kenya and northern Tanzania.)

The father is also a teacher.

The mother came back to Australia to have her baby and her husband joined her just a week before she gave birth. They intend to return to Tanzania in a couple of months time, where they will both continue their work.

They said that most of the classes in the school where they taught had up to 250 children in each class! Obviously it is a highly rewarding job to be able to teach all of those children, even though at times it must be quite difficult. The mother is a volunteer and is looking forward to going back.

Their tiny baby looked so sweet. He had lots of black tightly curled hair, no doubt inherited from his dad.
