safari kwa semina ya Ukimwi

went to Ifakara with Mama Ndeze and Justin from the Christian Council of Tanzania--they host seminars around the country about HIV/AIDS and the many issues and challenges it has caused for the people of tanzania. the seminar was all in swahili--so i caught 30 percent of it--maybe... we were with about 20 lutheran pastors from the region...

i really enjoyed all their company, and talked to them for hours on the rides to and fro, listening to their knowledge, wisdom and experience..,they were quite a funny bunch together.







went to another seminar in dar es salam on the church's response to HIV/AIDS for KMT--the Mennonite Church of Tanzania. Esther is pictured above, the coordinator of our program in dodoma. shes an amazing woman, very strong, straightforward, compassionate, is amazing with children, and full of wisdom. and I think she has one of the most beautiful faces i have ever seen. kweli.
