Bagpipes, baseball, blogs, and babies
Bagpipes, by bill Collins was the event of the day - followed by baseball. Dictionaries with bagpipe and pictures, discussion, performance , participation by students - and then the baseball finale , complete with Scottish dancing, led by earla, and kids and exhausted wazungu (that's us)
AND We had a great meeting with \mwangaza Center- an organization dedicated to improvement of education in Tanzania. They have agreed to provide resources for our school. We have agreed to pay for their help. More to follow. It appears to be a match made in heaven.
Today was a visit to neema Ndooki Swai,pastor, new mother, new masters' student. It was wonderful. We have pictures of each of us holding baby Noela, 2 months old, and many of Babu David I. holding a sleeping baby Noela. What a gift it was.
and then the orphan project, the adorable children, singing, and counting and healthy.
and then back with the great group who are here. Tomorrow we leave on safari. Home on thursday, Maybe we can email on the way.
It will be good for a break. \\m

Hey Mary - I read on the web - The St Paul Synod web states Mwangaza has Professional development for teachers provides opportunities to update skills through seminars at the Mwangaza resource center in Arusha and through teacher exchanges. Are they able to arrange teacher exchanges from US for 3 month stints at Ngateu? Once the exchange students are done, could that building be available for exchange teachers? - just a thought. Enjoy the Safari and please count the number of baby wildebeests :) ~K
Back in the US and wishing I was still in Arusha - I think I left part of my heart in Ngateu! I can picture the bagpipes and Scottish dancing - just wish I could've heard it, and watched the students' faces.
