You Spoil us Madame Sharoni So maybe one last entry for those of you who’ve only experienced the Mbeya-Dar leg of the trip by bus. Yesterday started with a lie-in. Breakfast at 8:00, bags packed and out of the rooms by 9:30. Church a repeat of last week, only this time a very entertaining […]
One Last Interview – Saturday Tanzania 2014
I cried today. Being brought up in Africa, I grew accustomed and somewhat impervious to the suffering and poverty around me. Interviewing children who have lost one or both of their parents, who in some cases have AIDs, who have such immense hardships and challenges to face in their lives, is sad, but the callouses […]
7 new bloggers – Friday Tanzania 2014
Mabatini and Uyole today. We started early with the intention of finishing in time for some of the Tanzanian workers to attend a local pastor’s wedding, but one of the trucks had a flat tyre, which delayed us a bit. The Head of Uyole School popped in to give a greeting. The interviewing was fairly […]

Martin came over to install the twenty […]

Help us build a home for this family
Part of what Grassroots does is raise money to rebuilt houses in Romania for families that are desperately in need… and in danger of the roof over their heads falling on them. Here are pictures of the next house we want to demolish and rebuild as a home that is warm, dry and safe. Also […]
Monday – Tanzania 2014
More musings from Graham plus two others So, Swaya today. Early start; up at 7:00 for a departure from Karibuni at about 8:45. Swaya is a lengthy drive down interesting roads, many with the sort of rough surfaces and steep gradients that had me thankful I was in a Landcruiser, and just a little sorry […]
