I was very much interested with my trip from Dodoma to mwanza for Christmas holiday, my journey was very fun but a bit hard because I used to cross three regions, Singida, Tabora, Shinyanga then Mwanza.I was very much happy to see my parents because I have never been at home for more than 1 year and a half. After 3 days in Mwanza, then I went to see my grandfather at the Island called Ukerewe which located inside the Lake Victoria.Ukerewe is the largest Island in Lake Victoria and also the largest Inland Island in Africa. The Island belongs to Tanzania and is about 535 Square kilometres. I closed the Lake by ship for 3 hours, it was an enjoyable trip because it was the harvesting season for crops like maize, cassava and rice also plenty of fruits like mangoes,oranges,tangerines and pineapples, for sure people from Ukerewe are very much Healthier because of the availabilities of food and also the island is very famous for fishing activities and the most types of fish are Tilapia and Nile pearch.When I was there I tried to built the rocket stove to my grandfather’s kitchen and I left the stove while it was not yet dry, my grandfathers neighbours were also very much interested to have the stoves in their homes but my holiday were at the end so I didn’t managed to build another stoves. But I promised them when I will have another holiday I will try to go there and build some stoves to their homes feel so sad to come back without building another stoves while people are in need with the stoves.
