Amanda Hopcroft spent five weeks at the Primary Health Care Institute in Iringa, Tanzania taking courses in the Culture and Society in East Africa, the Health issues of East Africa, and Swahili Language and Cultural Immersion. During her time out of the classroom, Amanda was able to visit local schools at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Through these visits and her coursework, Amanda was able to examine the relationship between women and education and observe the difficulty Tanzanian women face in obtaining quality education at all levels. Amanda also made many visits to local clinics and hospitals to observe available healthcare in the country. Amanda observed HIV/AIDS care, mental health care, maternal and neonatal care, immunizations, and family planning. At one clinic, Amanda was able to witness firsthand a women receive an etonogestrel implant. She took special interest in mental health care in Tanzania and was able to see a mental health ward with patients suffering from psychoses and schizophrenia. One weekend of her trip was spent at Foxes’ NGO in Mufindi, Tanzania where she volunteered at the children’s village and went on home-based care visits. At the children’s village, Amanda was able to learn Swahili and proper caregiving from the Mamas as she assisted with babies’ dinnertime, baths, teeth brushing, laundry, and bedtime. During home-based care, Amanda visited families afflicted with HIV/AIDS and discussed with them their lives and struggles. Amanda felt fully immersed in Tanzanian culture as she lived with local students and spent much of her free time in the marketplace practicing Swahili and bargaining. Amanda learned to cook traditional meals, including chapati and pilau, and also how to make beaded jewelry with the help of local women. One day, Amanda was able to attend a Catholic Church service to facilitate her understanding of Tanzania’s extensive religiosity. After this service, Amanda was able to walk in a Eucharistic procession throughout town with thousands of individuals celebrating and observing the event. She was able to spend her last weekend abroad in Zanzibar during Ramadan, where she experienced a very different culture, people, and religion from the mainland.
