Just before I left for Tanzania, I introduced you to Mr Mansour who runs a small tailoring business right by our office. Since I got back with all the material I bought in Tanzania, he's managed to design and make me two dresses and one skirt, all for the grand sum of 70,000 Leones (which is about a tenner). Running outside for a dress fitting in between meetings and workshops has been really fun and the first (and probably only) time I can say I've had a personal tailor. He's one of the smiliest people I've ever met and, along with Josephine (who I buy my bananas from) and Mohamed (who I buy my afternoon coke or sprite from), I'm going to really miss the community I've got to know around the office.
