There is a house in Mbweni called The Haukeland House. That is a house with doctors from Haukeland Hospital in Norway. Some of them are alone, and some with their whole family. They work at the local hospital here in Zanzibar.
We know two families especially good. One of the families just went, and the other family is leaving soon.
Now I'm going to tell you about these two families.
The Thomassen family
This is a family with a mother, a father, a son (12) and a daughter (10). They just left, so now they are back in Norway.
Øyvind
Øyvind is the doctor in the family. He is a very active, funny, nice guy.When my dad and him are together they are a bit childish, they always start to play fight.
Liv Karin is a very social, active, nice woman. She often invites to a dinner or a dugnad (a Nowegian word for voluntary work, usually for helping public places). She was the "boss" of the dugnad at the Haukeland house.
Jørgen
Jørgen is a twelve years old boy who went to the Internasional School of Zanzibar. We were in the same class. He is very active and likes to make movies.
Ingrid
Ingrid is a ten years old girl who also went to the International School of Zanzibar. She is (like the rest of the family) active and a very nice girl.
The Hærum family
The Hærum is a family with a mother, a father, a daughter (8) and a daughter (5). They are leaving Zanzibar soon.
Thorbjørn
