I think I get it, Betty Levitovs youngest student said, sitting on a porch in Harare, Zimbabwe. Youve had a potentially fatal disease, and faced death, and now youll do just about anything. The student was trying to fathom why a teacher would take thirteen kids from a small midwestern liberal arts college on a threemonth trek across Africa.The answer, a learning experience like no other, unfolds in Levitovs thoroughly engaging account of her lifechanging stint as a mwalimu (teacher in Swahili) with an Australian bus driver and thirteen college kids from Nebraska in tow. The groups wanderings take themand usthrough seven countries. Through dhow trips and donkey rides on the Swahili island of Lamu, scuba diving and spice tours in Zanzibar, camping in the Namib Desert, and swimming on the edge of a cataract at Victoria Falls, we encounter remarkable people, new customs, and intriguing arts (along with malaria, flat tires, a bike accident, and a hostage crisis). As the students apprentice themselves to African cooks, fishermen, carvers, and batik artists, we discover with them a subtle and complex connection among people normally worlds apart.
