Greetings from Tanzania.
Well,. Ive just come back from a 2 day road journey . Mary, Vivienne, Pia, and Dennis, our driver, went the 1000 kilomenters, to Ngonga village, in Keyela District, to see the wonderful work Mary is doing down there. The school is completed there, right in the jungle clearing. There are 130, children attending the little Watoto Weto, (our children, in Swahelli), School, that other wise would have no education at all .It is in the heart of the jungle, and really surprised me, what Mary,and her co-workers have achieved, in only 3 years.
We gave out mosqito nets to all the children, who attend the school. I was able to speak in the school,and play games, and sing songs with the beautiful children, when I gave the education supplies, and the toys.We were in the heart of the jungle with the aids orphans, and the local village people. . It was the most amazing trip, Ive ever been on, we saw elephants,zebra, and girraffes, on the way down.
We were on the National TV with,MP, Mr Harrison Makembe, who is the Local MP for Keyela District. He brought the President down, because he found out about corruption. We were in his village, when he came to visit his relatives. There was a wonderful celebration,which we were invited to attend, but his life was under threat, and there was a lot of security, as well asmedia attention. He loves what Mary is doing in his village of Ngonga, Kyela District.
Now w ve only days to go, till we return. We ve been so busy, and done a lot of traveling accross the mountains, and the Serengeti.
Will be home soon
Love to all
Melanie
Ngonga, Kenya, Kyela,
