Peace Corps Training in Tanzania, Binza Upper Primary School

The Kinseys’ group trained in the small southern Tanzanian town of Mbeya, where they learned about their school, health issues, travel problems, and more. Peppy talks to a another volunteer who has been teaching in the country for a year, and they discuss problems in Peppy’s marriage. The Kinseys finally arrive in Maswa to begin teaching at Binza Upper Primary School. Life is difficult there, especially with the headmaster, so they seek a transfer to another school, but they immerse themselves in school life, teaching, directing clubs, coaching, making new friends, and they eventually withdraw their transfer request. A new Peace Corps volunteer couple arrive nearby and describe their life and friendship with Bill and Peppy.
