Neema Crafts in Iringa. A Diocese of the Ruaha Project for the disabled. www.neemacrafts.com If you see a beautiful fabric around my neck ~ its from here. Maybe the most successful project I have seen in Tanzania. Continuing to fall in love with Iringa!

This is roadworthy...seen Girsham driving it! Reminds me so much of Uncle Roy's old farm truck. I used to love riding in that truck. Hmmm....maybe Girsham will drive me to Dodoma in this. :-)

Still in Solya - Kilimatinde. I LOVE these toys...so much ingenuity! Actually if you visit the Smithsonian's African History Museum you will see a collection of them.

Several of the stones in All Souls Cathedral have their natural heart shape outlined. By virtue of their infrequency and randomness they are strikingly beautiful.

Jackie loves her Khangas. Axa has gone back to St. John's, making it even more lonely for me. My meetings are going well & I am wrapping up my work as I leave on 10 days. After a brief stop in Dodoma, on to Iringa for language school.

At this very moment there are at least four meetings going on at the Cathedral grounds - I can move between the sounds of prayer, religious discussions, children singing & the guys practicing for Sunday. All Souls Cathedral is a thriving, vibrant church.
