Memories of Trip Oct-Nov 2011 Pt 1

We have been home 3 days now and are feeling the "sunshine withdrawals" of returning to Washington. I'm not saying that is isn't good to be home, but we experienced so many wonderful things while in Tanzania that I'll blog bits and pieces and also post pictures to share a little of our trip over the next few weeks.

As followers of the blog know, we dedicated the well at Ngateu on the first Sunday we were in Tanzania. The wonderful thing is that now the school has fresh, clean, cool water. Many of us drank from the well all three weeks we were there with no ill effects, a luxury that wasn't afforded us on prior visits.

Although the picture attached shows Larry filling his water bottle, we were so excited to see the students getting drinks between classes. All Safi members and friends need to extend a big THANK YOU for the gift of clean, healthy water that "our students" now share daily. The fact is, the whole community around Ngateu Secondary School are able to benefit from this gift. Thanks to all involved in the Safi/Ngateu well water project!
