Showing off


Thanks for your prayers - we had a fun weekend (or two) with some friends who came from the UK to do a survey on a water project. It's in the Pawaga area where the Diocese is installing Kilometers of water pipes, and also poignant because it's where I used to work. Hugh and Tricia have told us stories of people who now have water piped to a stand near their homes; before this they had to go down to the river, with the risk not only of disease, but of being bitten by crocodiles as well.

Hugh took this photo as I was crossing the (same) Ruaha River on a pulley. There are no crocodiles that far up, but I have seen hippo footprints in the mud. Whatever disease I have, it'll be exotic!

They're in!


The computers have arrived at last! Last Tuesday was the biggest day since we arrived in Tanzania - at least from the technical point of view! The supporting organisation, Global Outreach have an office in Iringa, and they brought the twenty computers to St Michael Secondary School, Kilolo to be set up.

As for the rest of our life, suddenly everything increased in pace and intensity, so we'd value your prayers for our health and sanity.
