Tena na tena

Ever since 2002, Shepherd of the Valley travelers have made annual trips to visit our companions in Tanzania. Each time, we are welcomed lavishly and asked to return tena na tena, again and again. What’s on the itinerary? ·         After a long journey and four flights, Pastor Wendy, her daughter Anna, and I will arrive in Iringa and will visit Huruma Center Orphanage and the Iringa Diocese Head Office our first day in town. ·         We’ll spend three days in each of our partner congregations: Makifu, Tungamalenga, and Usolanga. ·         We’ll spend a day at the school atop a mountain – Lutangilo Secondary School, where new science lab classrooms have just been completed. ·         Our trip includes a couple days at Ruaha National Park, to see the beauty of God’s creation in the Great Rift Valley. We’ll see what’s new since our last visit. ·         We’ll visit Mpalapande Primary School, where school is in session for 60 kindergartners. ·
