You'll get an authentic view of Tanzania by visiting a group of local potters who create beautiful and functional pieces out of locally mined clay. They'll teach you to prepare, turn, trim, and fire your own pieces, using local tools. At the end of the day, you'll take your completed pot away as a memento of your day. You'll also learn about the work of The Small Things, supporting families and caring for children in crisis.
From Kilala on the main road, between Usa River and Tengeru, turn up the hill to the end of the pavement, then turn right at Nkoaranga hospital. Park at "TST Pickup Point," 50m down the dirt road. 4x4 drivers, please continue directly to the Happy Family Children's Village, about 2km (see Gmaps)
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
First, you'll visit The Small Things and learn about their work supporting orphaned and vulnerable children and families in the community. Then we'll go together to Tengeru, where you will learn from traditional potters how to prepare the clay, turn it on a foot-powered wheel, and fire it in a traditional kiln to take home with you. Throughout the day, your experienced local guide will also teach you about the culture and history of the local Meru tribe.
