Reducing personal injuries from arc flash events should be the main goal of any arc flash hazard assessment. Many facilities have locations where the arc flash energy levels are extremely high. These dangerous areas require electricians and technicians to wear heavy layers of personal protective equipment (PPE) when working on energized equipment. Unfortunately, in some areas, this PPE can increase the chances of heat stroke and other heat-related problems.
This article will discuss how arc flash energy levels are calculated and what factors affect these calculations the most. There are several design options, retrofit methods, and work procedures you can implement to reduce the arc flash energy level, including the use of fuses, relays, and circuit breakers. Lowering the arc flash energy level will decrease equipment damage and increase equipment and personnel protection.
Design engineers have a few options to reduce system voltage or fault currents. However, the best and most direct way to reduce arc flash hazards is to reduce fault-clearing times.
Arc flash energy can be estimated or calculated by using tables found in NFPA 70E, equations found in IEEE Standard 1584, or equations developed by Ralph Lee (for use in locations greater than 15kV). Lee's equations are based on his method given in a 1982 IEEE IAS Transactions paper, "The Other Electrical Hazard: Electric Arc Blast Burns." These methods determine the arc flash hazard incident energy levels and arc flash boundary areas. For this article, we will use the IEEE 1584 equations to calculate energy levels.
The arc flash energy equations found in IEEE 1584 use many variables, including equipment bolted fault current values, arcing fault current values, and upstream protective device clearing times. The calculations are also dependent upon factors such as operating voltage, gap length, and type of grounding. These last three items are very difficult to change in an existing facility. The greatest effect on the calculations is time the upstream device operates, followed by working distance, and then available fault current.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 show just how much time and distance can affect the energy calculations. In Figs. 1 and 2, the working distance is held constant at 18 inches. Only in the last graph (Fig. 3) is the working distance varied. Each graph shows the arc flash energy level on the vertical axis (blue line). The numbers on the red line show the NFPA 70E hazard risk category (HRC) level.
In Fig. 1, you can see the effect of raising the fault current when the device operating time is held constant at 0.025 seconds. This is the typical clearing time of a molded-case circuit breaker tripping instantaneously. As the fault current is raised from 5,000A to 90,000A, the HRC varies from 0 to 1. Therefore, if the device is tripping quickly, raising the fault current does not significantly affect the HRC level. The energy level only rises slightly.
In Fig. 2, you can see the effect of changing the device operating time from 0.025 seconds to 0.5 seconds (0.5 seconds is the longest short time delay setting available for breakers with solid-state trip units). For these calculations, the fault current is held constant at 30,000A. This graph clearly demonstrates that the device operating time has a major impact on the calculations. The HRC changes from 0 to 4, and the energy levels approach 40 calories per centimeter squared.
Figure 3 shows a plot of personnel working distance versus incident energy level. The fault current and device operating time are held constant while the working distance is raised from 18 inches to 225 inches. This graph shows that increasing the distance between the worker and the fault location reduces the energy.
In the real world, it's important to remember that changing fault currents could affect the upstream device operating time. If the fault current is reduced below the breaker's instantaneous setting or fuse current-limiting threshold, then longer delay times can be expected. Usually, the net effect of a lower fault current and longer device operating time is a higher energy level. This occurs quite often when equipment downstream of an automatic transfer switch (ATS) is fed by a generator and normal utility source. The energy levels of this downstream equipment can be higher when on generator power than when fed by utility power. This is because the upstream protective device operates slower due to the generator's reduced fault current. The time current curve in Fig. 4 shows how the reduced fault current can affect the way the protective device operates. This demonstrates the importance of performing the energy calculations and why it's important to know all sources and levels of fault current.
Improved safety through design
Reducing the fault current can have an effect on the energy calculations, but it's extremely hard to reduce at an existing facility. It is usually done during the design phase of a new facility. Several ways to reduce this fault current are the use of several smaller transformers and unit substations versus one large one. This also increases the system reliability by having several substations feeding equipment instead of one. Installing tie breakers will further increase the reliability should one of the substation services fail (the bus tie breakers must not be closed unless one of the main breakers is open).
Another method of reducing the fault current is the use of current-limiting reactors. These devices have been used in many facilities to reduce the fault current to levels below the equipment short-circuit ratings. Although this is a costly method, there may be other reasons for implementing this option.
The best way to reduce arc flash energy is to clear the arcing fault as quickly as possible without sacrificing coordination. Current-limiting fuses operate extremely fast (if operated in the current-limiting range), reducing arcing current and energy levels. They are simple to install and have very little maintenance requirements. However, if the line side is energized, the electrician will need to wear appropriate PPE (based upon the line side energy calculations) to install a fuse that has blown.
When using circuit breakers, there are many options available to reduce the arc flash energy level. Using simple current-limiting breakers that will operate in the instantaneous region and current-limiting region will reduce the energy levels. In addition, using breakers with solid-state trip units that have adjustable long, short, and instantaneous settings is an effective method for reducing arc flash energy. Figure 5 on page 54 shows the adjustable trip functions for a breaker with a solid-state trip unit. This is achieved by setting the short time pickup and delay as low as possible but coordinating with the largest downstream load. This ensures that the breaker will still trip quickly if the arcing fault current falls below the breaker instantaneous setting.
Another way to reduce the arc flash energy at locations where solid-state trip units are being used is to order the trip units with a zone interlocking feature. This feature adds communication between the main, tie, and feeder breakers. If a fault occurs downstream from the feeder breaker, a "restraint" signal is sent to the main and tie breakers to time out using their normal programmed LSI trip settings. If a fault occurs between the main and feeder breakers, a "no restraint" signal is sent to the main and bus tie breakers. They will then trip at a very low pickup and time delay.
Another similar method is to employ differential protection. Zones of protection are set up using differential relays and current transformers. If a fault occurs within the zone, the relay trips at extremely low pickups and time delays. This again greatly reduces the arc flash energy. Some manufacturers are now offering this option on low-voltage switchgear using breakers with solid-state trip units.
Some switchgear manufacturers have employed arc flash venting methods in their design. Should a fault occur, the flash energy is directed through a vent and outside to a safe area. However, this option can be expensive and should only be employed at main substations where the fault currents (and arc flash energy) can be extremely high.
Another interesting way that arc flash energy has been reduced is by the use of flash sensors. The sensors are installed within the switchgear and will trigger if a light flash from a fault (or other source) occurs. These devices then trip the main and tie breakers.
Relying on retrofit methods
You can reduce the incident energy level by replacing older non-current limiting fuses with modern fast operating fuses with faster clearing times. Even replacing expulsion-type fuses with current-limiting fuses have been shown to be beneficial.
Another simple method is to reduce the fuse ampere size. Many circuits in a distribution system are under utilized. If a 400A fuse is feeding loads that draw only 200A, then the 400A fuse can be reduced, which will increase the chances that the fuse will operate in the current-limiting region for an arcing fault. However, it's important to check the inrush current of motors and transformers and verify that the fuse will not be damaged when these devices are energized.
As previously discussed, device operating time has a great effect upon the energy levels. Therefore, reducing the trip times to as low as possible without sacrificing selective coordination is very important. For double-ended unit substations or switchboards, it's important to reduce the main settings to coordinate with the largest feeder breaker not with the tie breaker. This is because the tie breaker is rarely used and is there only for emergency or maintenance conditions.
Work procedures
One of the least expensive ways to reduce arc flash energy is the modification of work procedures. The best and safest way is to de-energize the equipment. Although this may seem obvious, it's not always implemented. Before working on energized equipment, personnel should consider all possible ways to shut the equipment down. Although this may require working on the equipment during non-traditional working hours, it is definitely the safest method.
If de-energizing the electrical equipment is not an option, then consideration should be given to the three items below, with the last item being the highest priority.
- Lower the fault current
- Increase the work distances
- Reduce device clearing (trip) times
The fault current can sometimes be lowered by the elimination of paralleling of transformers. In many facilities, double-ended substations or network faults are paralleled during normal periods. If the equipment is going to be worked on while energized, these paralleled transformers can sometimes be shut down, thus lowering the available fault current.
A facility should always eliminate personnel working between a transformer secondary and the downstream secondary (main) breaker when energized. This is the most dangerous (and usually the highest arc flash energy area) location in a distribution system. The arc flash energy level is much higher at this location because the primary device is seeing a reduced (when calculated in primary amperes) fault current on the secondary side. This lower fault current seen by the primary device will cause it to trip at a longer delay. This longer delay increases the arc flash energy level.
As the discussions stated previously, time is important when considering arc flash energy calculations. Many modern solid-state trip units and protective relays are now employing group settings or maintenance settings, which enable the owner to program lower pickups and faster trip times. An external switch is used to instruct the relay or trip unit to use the lower settings. Before work is performed, the electrician simply toggles the switch to the maintenance position. Should a fault occur, the protective device will pick up and trip quickly, thus reducing the arc flash energy level.
Putting distance between the hazard and the electrician is also beneficial. One way to reduce the hazards during infrared surveys is to use infrared windows. These windows are mounted at important locations that need to be inspected by infrared equipment. These windows allow the technician to scan the location to look for hot spots (loose connections) without removing covers and doors.
One of the most hazardous tasks to perform is racking in or out breakers. Many documented accidents have occurred during this operation. Recently, several manufacturers have been marketing remote breaker racking devices. These devices allow the operator to stand to the side while the machine racks in the breaker. Increasing this working distance reduces the arc flash energy at the operator's location.
In summary
We have looked at several ways to reduce the arc flash energy in a facility. Arc flash energy can be reduced by (in order of effect): decreasing the trip times; reducing fault currents; and increasing the worker distance.
There are many methods and techniques that the technician or engineer can use to reduce the incident energy levels. An electrical engineer familiar with the requirements of NFPA 70E and IEEE 1584 should analyze each location to see which solutions are most cost effective and beneficial. Working on the equipment when de-energized is the safest solution, and it can be implemented at any location.

Schild (left) won the one-meter competition with a score of 206.30 to score nine team points for Wabash, while Anderson added four more points with a second place score of 152.80. The duo went 1-2 on the three-meter board, as well. Schild won with a score of 156.10, while Anderson took second with a score of 145.50.
Williams won the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:51.26, with teammate Alex Beck finishing second (1:52.82). Williams added another top finish in the 100 free, posting a winning time of 49.33. Beck took third in the event with a time of 50.08, while Evan Rhinesmith was fourth (50.29).
Woods posted the top time in the 1,000-yard freestyle at 10:28.36 to win the event, while Logan Rice finished third (10:41.48). Woods also won the 500 free with a time of 5:03.00, just ahead of teammate Logan Falley in second place with a time of 5:05.04.
Rhinesmith scored an individual victory in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:00.58 as the only Wabash swimmer competing in the event against five Rose-Hulman swimmers.
"Our guys swam pretty well today," Head Coach Steve Barnes said. "Our times weren't great, but they weren't terrible, either. Our distance guys had a huge turnaround from last weekend. Jake Schild and Jake Anderson really carried us in the diving and came through huge for the team.
"Honestly Rose just wanted the meet more," Barnes said. "They were more prepared, especially mentally. They just out-touched us on too many races. We were not mentally ready to compete with them. We need to come strong both physically and mentally to every single meet if we want to be the team I think we can be. We had too many mental lapses today. That just led to some bad races and some bad finishes."
David Phillips took second in the 100 backstroke (56.16), while David Birrer was second in the 200 butterfly (1:58.79). Birrer took second in the 100 fly (53.35) as well, with teammate Adam Current capturing third place (53.39). Eric Vaughn added a second place finish in the 50 free (22.98), wile Beck took third (23.44). Vaughn also took third in the 200 backstroke (2:08.69).
Wabash finished second in both relays. The Little Giant quartet of Williams, Rhinesmith, Vaughn, and Birrer posted a time of 1:39.95 in the 200-yard medley relay, while Rhinesmith, Birrer, Rice, and Beck finished second in the 400 free relay with a time of 3:19.34.
"We have some work to do. I think physically our times are where they need to be, but they can be better. Hopefully they will be Wednesday."
The Little Giants return to the pool Wednesday for their annual battle with arch-rival DePauw. The dual meet will be the first home meet of the 2010-2001 season for Wabash, and will begin at the Class of 1950 Natatorium at 7 p.m.

Wabash College invites members of the community to participate in two events to kick off the 2004-05 school year.
The Wabash football team will host its annual Youth Football Clinic this Friday afternoon beginning at 5:00 p.m. in Little Giant Stadium. Now in its fourth year, the Clinic gives young people an opportunity to meet Wabash football players and learn some basics about the game.
Kids of all ages are welcome, both boys and girls. Players will go through a series of drills and rotate through a variety of stations. Each clinic participant will also get a free photo of the football team that they can get autographed by players after the clinic.
Those same kids are invited to attend the Little Giants' home opener on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. when Wabash hosts Washington University of St. Louis.
There is no charge for admission to Community Day this Saturday. Friends are invited to bring a blanket and enjoy a free cookout on the college's mall. Serving will begin at noon.
"This is our sixth straight year of hosting Community Day," said Wabash spokesman Jim Amidon. "We hope families will take time to walk the Wabash campus, grab a hot dog before the game, and watch two really good football teams clash at 1 p.m."
Kids who participate in Friday's Youth Football Clinic are encouraged to wear jerseys to the game on Saturday, and to come to the field after the game to meet the players who worked with them Friday afternoon.
"What Coach Creighton and the team are doing with the clinic is simply amazing," said Amidon. "Since this program has started, it's gone from about 50 kids to over 200. We're excited to host the Youth Football Clinic and Community Day all in one weekend."
For information about the Youth Football Clinic, contact assistant coach Steve House at 361-6299 or email@example.com.

The Smart Cycling program developed by the League of American Bicyclists teaches the five layers of crash prevention.
1. Control your bike. 83% of bike wrecks don't involve a motor vehicle. Learn the common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Allow an arm's length between yourself and the edge of the road, to avoid debris and unexpected obstacles like animals.
2. Obey the law. In half of car-bike collisions, the cyclist was not obeying a traffic law.
3. Discourage drivers' mistakes. Just like defensive driving, you can discourage drivers from making common mistakes by choosing where and how to ride. A key concept is to control the lane with an assertive lane position, which also makes you more visible to drivers.
4. Avoid drivers' mistakes. For those mistakes they make anyway, there are a couple maneuvers you can learn—and practice!—to avoid a collision.
5. Wear a helmet. Practicing the four principles above prevents over 90% of bike wrecks. The helmet can save your life for the few you can't avoid.
These principles are based on studies and statistics. Many bike safety programs, especially for kids, start and end with "wear a helmet", and bike safety debates are full of helmet wars. Of course I wear a helmet and encourage everyone to do so. However, the focus on helmets detracts from the steps that, based on the data, will have a much bigger impact on bicyclist safety.
If I were to advocate only one practice that would make bicyclists safer, the way some people latch onto helmets, I would choose "lane position". Ride on the right side of the road (in the direction of traffic), but not at the far edge. Keeping a healthy space between you and the right curb is the majority of the First and Third Layers of Crash Prevention.

New app released – 600 raisons de ne pas voter Sorkozy (with Rue89)
We are pleased to announce that we have released a new app last week!
The app is based on an extremely well-documented article published in the online French newspaper Rue89 listing 600 reasons not to vote for Nicolas Sarkozy for the French presidential election taking place in April/May 2012. The newspaper listed these reasons, and provided also links to articles, books, videos, on the web where the justification could be found.
We teamed-up with Rue89 to design and develop an app based on this, Rue89 providing the content in the form of a database, and Lothringer designing and publishing the resulting app.
You can browse the reasons, either randomly or using the next/previous buttons. For each of these reasons, you can tap on the associated link, and read the relevant article, or watch the video. More importantly, you can share the reasons you like on Facebook and Twitter!
You can visit our page dedicated to this app here.
This app has already been published on the Android Market, and is in the process of being published on the Apple iStore.

I started DailyWorth for very selfish reasons. I want to be wealthy -- wealthy on all levels -- financially and spiritually, mostly (I know, guru friends -- spiritual wealth has no relationship to financial wealth, but that's for another blog post).
Let's discuss the financial wealth bit here. I seem to have a number of self-defeating habits that keep me from obtaining wealth. Let's list them:
- Feel 100% entitled to buy things I can't afford
- Don't make saving a priority (I mean, what's fun about saving money?)
- Love buying new clothes, or really new anything for that matter
- Am allergic to words like "budget" and "restriction"
- Enjoy takeout food -- don't like cooking all that much
And, there are far more horrifying habits that I am not going to reveal here, but will share anonymously once the forum launches. Fortunately, I make a decent salary. Unfortunately, I also make really unconscious spending decisions, and am worse off than many friends who make half of what I do.
Since launching DailyWorth, I've been staring at myself in the mirror. "Ok, Amanda, if you care about DailyWorth and making a real impact on your financial health and on the lives of women like you, you have to subject yourself to the real work of change. Stop talking and start working."

We absolutely love going to the zoo (especially now that we renewed our zoo pass)! We normally just enjoy meandering from one exhibit to the next, but this time I thought it would be fun to trying something new!
I used some of my dad's amazing photographs from Zimbabwe (as well as a few others licensed as public domain) to create this printable Zoo Scavenger Hunt.
I printed each of the boys their own copy, gave them a clipboard as well as a marker, and off we went!
This picture makes me laugh. Notice the direction the binoculars are facing… :)
Every time we saw an animal on our page, Big Brother would sit down and cross it off his list. He loved counting how many animals we had left after he crossed off each one!
Here are the completed scavenger hunts…Big Brother was meticulous about crossing out the animal name and circling the animal picture. Little Brother got a little excited about the process!
This was so much fun for everyone! It gave Big Brother something to get excited about. It also avoided the typical "It's-Time-to-Leave-Battle"…once the Scavenger Hunt was completed, Big Brother said, "Okay, we're finished! It's time to leave now."
I'd love for you to try it out and tell me whether your kids enjoyed it!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The past weekend saw the Gaza war launched last week under the banner "Operation Pillar of Cloud" escalate in unprecedented ways.
On Thursday evening, at least one missile fired from the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip hit in or near Tel Aviv. It was the first time Israel's coastal metropolis had sustained a missile attack since the first Gulf War over 20 years ago.
The Tel Aviv hit also confirmed that Gaza-based terrorists possess weapons capable of hitting most of Israel's population. The primary goal of Pillar of Cloud at present is to take out those weapons.
Another missile struck Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon. At that point, Israeli officials rushed the deployment of a fifth Iron Dome anti-missile defense system to the southern part of the city. The new unit manage to down yet another missile fired at Tel Aviv just hours after its deployment.
Also on Friday, Gaza-based terrorists fired a missile at Jerusalem. Local residents were shocked to hear an air raid siren, and many at first mistook it for the weekly siren that signals the start of Shabbat. The missile landed near the Etzion Bloc of Jewish communities just south of the capital.
Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil was visiting Gaza on Friday as missiles hit Tel Aviv for the first time. Kandil blamed Israel for the violence, while his boss, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, threatened that the Jewish state would "pay a heavy price."
The next day Israel bombed and destroyed the Hamas government headquarters where Kandil had met Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Missiles continued to strike cities across southern Israel over the weekend, in particular the Negev capital of Beersheva and the coastal cities of Ashkelon and Ashdod. Three people were wounded on Sunday morning, and countless others were treated for shock.
Due to the serious escalations posed by the targeting of both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Israel's army obtained government approval to mobilize 75,000 reserve soldiers. Many friends and family from the Israel Today office ended the Sabbath by packing up their bags and heading off to war.

By Sunday morning, Israel was still unsure if it would launch a ground invasion of Gaza. Israeli leaders said their goal was to eliminate Hamas' ability to threaten southern Israel, but also to avoid unnecessary casualties on both sides.
The Obama Administration put its full support behind Israel, but was reportedly concerned that a drawn out ground war would actually work in Hamas' favor, at least in terms of public relations. Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed not to launch a ground war unless there was another escalation by Hamas.

Pirate networks are vast and far-reaching. Therefore it is not only essential to identify and apprehend pirates following an attack, but also to gather intelligence and use it wisely to prevent future attacks.
Intelligence and evidence collected from piracy cases is contributed by affected countries and organizations and centralized in INTERPOL-coordinated databases. The intelligence is analysed in order to assist authorities in identifying pirates and their leaders and in connecting cases of piracy.
Global Maritime Piracy Database
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau in the United States assisted with the creation of a global database to house information pertaining to maritime piracy investigations. The database includes more than 4,000 records of:
- Personal details of pirates and financiers;
- Pirates' telephone numbers and phone records;
- Hijacking incidents;
- Vessels;
- Currency and bank accounts used in ransom payments.
Digital photo album
The INTERPOL Maritime Piracy Task Force has created a digital album containing photos of more than 300 suspected pirates. The photos are shared with authorized international partners and are often used when debriefing released hostages, to help identify their captors.
By using the photo album when debriefing the Filipino crew of the Irene SL, an oil tanker hijacked in February 2011, police were able to identify four of the pirates involved.
Europol Analysis Work File Project
INTERPOL is working alongside Europol on a cooperative project to analyse information related to maritime piracy cases.
Analytical training programme
This initiative aims at enhancing the analytical skills of law enforcement agencies in countries affected by maritime piracy.

Some Travellers never encounter any environment wilder than the climate-controlled cabins of a starship or the well-regulated conditions of a highport. Those who venture planetside, however, might encounter all manner of different environments in their wanderings. Among these, a temperate region with a breathable atmosphere and enough water to support life is one of the most common. This is largely because colonists landing from space naturally choose the most habitable areas to occupy, and the initial colony site is the most likely to grow into a major city or the site of a world's starport. Thus, Travellers venturing beyond the urban environment of the starport are likely to find themselves in a green but not necessarily pleasant land.
Referee's Briefing 6: Garden Worlds presents some of the conditions, hazards and wildlife likely to be encountered in such a region, along with ways the referee might use them in an adventure.

Carrie Underwood Gets Rejected by Vegas Golden Knights
By Dustin Stout
May 16, 2018
Carrie Underwood received a "thanks but no thanks" response from the Vegas Golden Knights.
After the Nashville Predators were eliminated from NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, the wife of the team's Mike Fisher threw her support behind the hockey team from Sin City and even offered to sing the National Anthem during Western Conference Finals.

The Golden Knights officials issued a statement politely declining Carrie's singing services.
"We are very flattered by the offer but we do not plan on making any changes to our previously scheduled anthem singer lineup at this time," the statement reads per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "This lineup includes musicians who have previously performed at our home games as well as additional entertainers with residencies or ties to Las Vegas that we have been in touch with throughout the year."

This quote popped up in In Touch magazine, on the subject of the Britney/Paris/Lindsay crotch trifecta.
"These girls are lowering themselves to the level of backstreet floozies. They are cheapening their own image and obliterating all the glamour, which is the heart of the star system."
Find out who said it, after the jump. And prepare for your head to explode.
Yup. That's right. Camille Paglia. Camille fucking Paglia in In Touch magazine. Maybe the social theory of Dyonisian human sexuality ain't paying so well these days.
Expect Germain Greer in Life&Style and Naomi Wolfe in Star any day now.

Care, Care & Community in Tanzania by Heidi Fung
The thought of going to Tanzania was absurd to my parents. Thankfully, the Projects Abroad 16-19 year old 2 Week Special programme proved to be a good persuasion tool. The carefully detailed arrangements meant that I could enjoy myself safely and my parents didn't have to worry.
Arrival in Tanzania
After more than half a day of travelling from Scotland, I arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport. On my last flight from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro, I was seated next to another volunteer with Projects Abroad. It was nice to meet a fellow volunteer beforehand, despite not being on the same project! The hot and dusty air hit me instantly as I exited customs.
My project leader, Jenna, and the Medical project leader, Matt, greeted me at the exit. They welcomed me to a completely different environment from where I came from. Other volunteers on my project arrived about the same time. We were all a little nervous and shy, but Jenna and Matt were great. They made everyone feel so at ease. It took over an hour to get to my host family. Matt had bought us all some chapati to try on the journey there. The chapati was so tasty (no comparison to the meals on the flight)! I could feel the start of the best two weeks of my life!
My host family
The house of my host family was not what I expected. The house was immense and spacious. I was shocked I hadn't expected that as a volunteer I would be placed in such good living conditions. Nevertheless, I was ever so grateful for Projects Abroad organising me such great hospitality. Mama Victoria greeted me with warmth and happiness. She showed my around the house.
My first meal in Tanzania was mince and mashed potatoes. Absolutely delicious, and so filling! Mama's son, David, was very helpful. He told me some basic knowledge of Arusha and some customs. The next day I met two other volunteers on my project that were going to be living with me. Both British as well, so it was nice and easy to settle in.
Starting my project in Tanzania
The structure of the project was well-planned. I was gradually eased into Tanzanian life. The first day was getting all the official documentation done and meeting all the other volunteers. Projects Abroad helps you change money, buy SIM cards to phone home, and arrange volunteer permits etc. Honestly, there is no need to worry about anything! They have it all under control for you – great hospitality!
Anywhere you walk in Arusha, Tanzanians will greet you whether they know you or not. Everyone is so friendly and they do expect you to return the salutation. I had taken note of some basic Swahili before coming to Tanzania, but it was inaccurate. Luckily, Projects Abroad, provide you with a Swahili lesson. This was really useful when trying to engage more with my host family. The language is not difficult to learn and has a really joyful tone to it.
The Care & Community project
For my project, I volunteered at an orphanage, Tumaini for Africa. In Swahili, "Tumaini" means hope – a very meaningful name for an orphanage. It was early morning starts for most days, as it took about 45 minutes to commute to Tumaini by bus. Mama always made a big breakfast for us before we went out every day and some days she would prepare a packed lunch for us. Other days, we ate at the orphanage, where there would always be a few children watching us with so much fascination!
At Tumaini, I was assigned a task each day. The tasks were carried out in groups of about 3 volunteers. For the first week, we painted all the walls white on the boys' and girls' houses, painted black borders on the bottom of the walls, and sketched murals on the walls with chalk. In the afternoons, we would have an option to play with the children or continue working on the houses.
Of course, most of us chose to spend time with the children. Each and every one of them was just as adorable! They ranged from the ages of 3 to 14. Although the children were small, they enjoyed playing football, frisbee, and skipping with us. Because the children don't have a lot of toys, they were very quick to make up new games. Their imagination was wonderful! I can assure you that playing with the children is not as easy as it seems. They are very energetic and they can keep you on your feet! Indeed it was tiring but seeing them smile and laugh, was the utmost satisfaction. It is true when people say "a child's smile is one of life's greatest blessings." During the second week, we painted the murals and spent more time with the children.
Exploring Tanzania
Not every day, was spent at Tumaini. The 2 Week Special programme allowed us to explore and witness the beauty of Tanzania. Sometimes, we only spent half a day at Tumaini and the other half Projects Abroad had organised some cultural activities for us. In the first week we had visited the Snake Park, where it has a medical centre for healing snake bites. After that, we were given an opportunity to visit the Masai Cultural centre.
In the second week, we spent a whole day at the Chaga village, where we observed coffee making, traditional Chaga dancing and a mind-blowing walk through the forests to see a waterfall. We got to practice proper Tanzanian drumming and dancing in another afternoon with some experts at Via Via. For the weekend between our 2 weeks, Projects Abroad took us on a safari trip at Tarangire National Park and a chance to run wild with the bush men.
Never have I had so much fun in the space of two weeks. I know it is a very short period of time to do so many things but it is a perfect opportunity for those young people who lead busy lives to go and experience something different. It is important to be able to taste the culture of the country as well as volunteering.
I feel that I see the world differently after going to Tanzania. I have a much more positive outlook on life and I appreciate everything much more. I would highly recommend you go and experience the world with Projects Abroad. They plan your trip and make it so delightful and stress-free! This programme changed my life and changed lives of others.

shot after a cold beer right after sunset in Heybeliada ( Halki Island) on a Saturday. You can see the cafes and people. No rush , seems like very peaceful :) ( it was though )
Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.
