Mzungu Days is a book I wrote over the course of the year I spent in Moshi, Tanzania in 2005. It actually started as a blog, but by the end of the year my entries were of sufficient quantity and, in the eyes of some kind souls, quality to have published into a book. In early 2006 this stumbled-upon dream became a reality, and the result is 146 pages of Tanzanian life from the point of view of one  Canadian mzungu in search of adventure and fulfillment. Nothing fancy, nothing deep, just 30 short essays about the weird and wonderful, Tanzania style.

Each copy costs $20 CDN, of which half the profits--roughly $5/book--will be donated to Canada-Africa Community Health Alliance (CACHA), a charity seeking to improve the health and lives of rural African communities.
