Sadly we report that our dear friend in Tanzania, Elizabeth Hudgin, died from COVID on Sunday, July 18th, 2021.
Safi School Project members are still in shock after learning of Elizabeth's death, but we want to offer our sincere condolences to Elizabeth's family and many friends.
We just received the following information concerning Elizabeth.
Elizabeth's remains were cremated Saturday, 24th July at 1200 Arusha time with a limited number of friends in attendance. A short worship service was held at the Sikh crematorium at that time. Elizabeth was a longtime supporter of Safi, and she will be missed by so many people from all over the world.
Please think of Elizabeth adding your love, prayers, and tears to ours.
The service of committal for Elizabeth Hudgin was held July 24th; and recorded.

May she rest in peace, and we all feel the love and peace of God.
On Joy and Sorrow Kahil Gibran
Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow.
And he answered:
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the self same well from which your laughter rises was often times filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.
Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven?
And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
