School Starts & trip to Dar

Greetings from Tanzania.

Edith has started to home school this week and all is going well, John-Luke is really enjoying it and Gabriella is also having fun.

Paul has to complete a salary review and complete the payroll before Thursday lunch time as he then has to travel to Dar to get some things sorted out for the year end work. So it will be a busy week.

This Week

Greetings to you all from Tanzania.

This week Edith and the Children are preparing their class room for the start of home schooling. Ian our programme manager brought some of the materials out with him after Christmas and some others bits should be coming by post.

For Paul this week has a number of meetings but also he hopes to complete as much as possible of the December financial figures as he can so the last week can be spent sorting out the extra year end work that is needed.

Otherwise we are all doing well and surviving the wet weather we are having at the moment, we probably get the amount of rain in one hour that we would get in the UK over a couple of days. Most of the time here when it rains it RAINS!!

Have a wonderful week and God bless you all.

The Week has almost gone

Sorry for the delay in an update this week, but things have been busy with Edith away and Paul home with the children.

Edith left Uganda on Tuesday and arrived in Dodoma 4am Wednesday morning this time the trip was only 22 hours rather than the 31.5 hours going as they drove right through the night this time. Edith was able to see her grandmother when in Uganda and she passed away the day Edith was travelling back. Please pray for the family as they deal with the loss but we praise the Lord that she is now with her Saviour.

For Paul the week continues with trying to get the December/year end figures together as well as all the day to day things as well.

Dodoma is very wet at the moment with some very heavy rain fulls over the last few days.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

God Bless and love form us all

Edith Returns Praise the Lord

Dear All

This week Paul continues to hold the fort in Dodoma but the good news is Edith should start her journey back tomorrow and arrive in Dodoma. The children and Paul can not wait to have her back. Please pray for safety in travel once again as Edith take the bus.

Edith has been very busy sorting issues out in Uganda as well as being able to see her Grandmother. Her grandmother is not doing so well so please pray for her and the family at this time.

Paul had an interesting week trying to work, watch the children, cook, wash up etc but it has all done well though with mad moments, thanks for your prayers.

That is about where we stand for now so we hope you have a great week.

God Bless and love from us all.

Happy New Year

We would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and pray that God will bless you though 2011.

Please pray for Edith who will be taking a 30 hour bus trip to Uganda tomorrow & Tuesday. Edith's only surviving grandparent (grandmother) is close to death's door so she is hoping to get to see her before she passes on. Please pray for safe travel for Edith and protection on the road. She will be visiting and sorting out some other issues whilst in Uganda so please pray also that she has time to do all this before returning by bus next Tuesday arriving here on Wednesday.

Please also pray for Paul as he stays in Dodoma with the children as work starts back tomorrow he will be mostly working from home whist looking after the children.

On the work side Paul will be starting to put things together for the December accounts this coming week and also preparing for the year end accounts as well, please pray that all will go to plan and he will have enough time to do all the things needed before the end of the Month.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

God Bless you in this new year.

With love from

Paul. Edith, John-Luke and Gabriella
