Welcome, Karibu

Our waiting is almost over, in a few weeks we will be in Tanzania. We have been working hard getting everything in order for our Mission trip to help the people of Tanzania help themselves. We are a group of 9 youth and 2 adults from Kamloops and 2 youth from Airdrie. Three of us have been to Tanzania before but for the rest it will be their first visit to the mission fields. We leave July 19th and return to Canada on September 2nd. While in Tanzania we will be working from the compound in Dodoma. We will be helping erect a windmill in the village of Chihikwi. This will pump clean water out of the ground and be stored in tanks that the group will be making at the work site.

This summer there is also a group of 5 adults from Kamloops and 4 adults from Airdrie going to Tanzania, two of which have been before. They will be leaving August 15th and staying for 3 weeks.

Both groups will be working together while in Dodoma. They have shipped a container with 16 tons of rice, beans, corn meal and peas that will be in Tanzania when they arrive. This will be distributed amongst the needy. It should be quite an experience for everyone!

We are going to try to keep the post updated as we travel through Tanzania. Feel free to post your own comments, we would like to hear from everyone.
