(This update was written Sunday, July 20, 2016. We have been without internet access until today.) Greetings from the Tanzania Girls School Team! After a busy Saturday, we had another day of visiting a local congregation we have been in partnership with and enjoyed our Sunday Worship with the Olodongoro congregation. Pastor Nangole showed us…
What a day! We spent the day traveling down into the Ngorongoro Crater and doing a 1-day safari. The weather was cold, windy and cloudy at the rim of the crater but as we descended the 600 meters down, it got sunnier and warmer. We immediately started to see wildlife and it was a day…
We had a normal start to the day today and left the Wasso Guest House around 8:30. We had a lot of driving to today as we needed to go from Wasso to Edulen. It was a long day of driving. Along the way, we got to see more giraffes and lots of zebras (it’s…
We woke early on Sunday to travel about an hour to Arash where we were to worship and visit the Women’s clinic.

Praise the Lord, the MaaSAE Girls Lutheran Secondary School Team has completed an amazing week with the approximately 350 students and their very committed staff and faculty. It began Sunday with a very Lutheran yet very African worship service led by the recently retired District Pastor Nangole who has been a true friend to the…

Habari za leo? (How are you today?) We woke up yesterday at Sister Angelika’s and had a good night’s sleep. We had breakfast and then got to tour the school some more. This time we got to interact with the children a little more. We had donated a couple soccer balls to the kids and…
