I am in Dar, having lunch with Omary and he has just shared a story about a friend he's had since primary school.  Her mother died years ago and more recently her father....yup, this is an evil step mother story!  It seems that an uncle had been paying her university fees (an outstanding balance of 200,000 TSH prevents her from writing her exams). The ESM (evil step mother) decided that if the young lady wanted the 200,000 she'd have to allow a house she inherited to be sold out from under her.  A house worth perhaps 20 or 30 times what is needed...she refused and they cut her off.  Nice hmmm? 
These things happen all the time to orphaned and vulnerable children ... 200,000 equates to about 170.00 cad.  Imagine ending your university education for lack of 170.00?
We are NOT asking for money here.  We just want you to be aware.  Omary's friend has a school loan that was misdirected and will return the money once the confusion is straightened out, but imagine ... Shame on you ESM!😡😡😡

I have a friend.  He is a good man.  A good father (and step parent which almost never happens here), husband and volunteer who has helped, free of charge (uncustomary in this part of the world) tirelessly for months now.  He has a shida (problem). He is struggling to pay school fees for one of his children and is short 350,000 TSH or about $230.00 CAD.  Would some good person be able to help this man?  Asante!

I am in Dar working on some legal and visa issues.  Our president has worked hard to beautify this city and construction is everywhere.  And yes...it is HOT!

Can you imagine using stones to clean yourself after using the toilet BC of a lack of water?  Taps and pipes had been stolen, doors had either been removed or were rotting and the incinerator for feminine products had lost its door and the girls were too shy to dispose of them properly so would leave them in the toilet stalls.  Unsafe and unhygienic we have restored the dignity of our Nshupu students.  Enormous thanks to our supporters for contributing to this renovation...enormous thanks to Frank Mpobela for leading an amazing team of fundis and restoring these toilets.

And it's landed!  I don't think we will try to do this again but at last our container and most property (you wont believe the theft) arrived and is parked at Tumaini!  So grateful!
BIIG thanks to supporters who got our bikes together for delivery...it was a hellish experience trying to clear this co trainer but I e reward was the smiles on these faces....thank you sooooo many people!

What do you do when the toilets at your school have no water, few doors and no way to secure the plumbing from theft?  You find great fundis (tradespeople) lead by our project manager Frank Mpobela (husband of Mary), and wisely use a donation from generous Belgian friends and you return dignity to 500 students at Nshupu Secondary!
