Since my last entry Barbara O'Neil has joined our happy little family. Stan and I welcomed her with open arms Saturday night and she has acclimated to the environment quite quickly.
We all went to Mass on Sunday (more beautiful singing) and then off to see Father John at Kichangani. Also along for the ride was Ally, Stan's new Office Manager for Global Outreach. Ally is finishing up his last year at Tumaini University and will manage the day-to-day operations for the organization. He is a delightful and charming young man and will hopefully do a wonderful job.
Today we traveled to the remote village of Image to to see the local secondary school. After two hours cruising over very bumpy and dusty terrain we arrived at a beautiful scene...over one hundred students singing and dancing backed by stunning mountains and a blue, blue sky. The headmaster, Mr. Ngogo is a delightful man and it's obvious that his teachers and students love him very much. Image started in 2004 but is in a stage of expansion of the facilites, all operated on solar power. They were one of the first schools that Global Outreach worked with and are a role model for others. Now if we can just find a way to give them Internet access...stay tuned on that.
Tomorrow Barbara, Stan Mama Zenda and I are off to Ruaha National Park for a few days of safari, then I depart for the States on Friday, June 13. Hope to give you one more entry before I leave this beautiful place, but if not, I'll be back for a re-cap once I land back in sunny Florida!
