A visit to Rufiji

It's hard to believe that we have almost come to the end of February.

The children went back to school on Wednesday after their mid term break, we had a good couple of days off together.

This week is the last week for Paul and Neville to complete any further adjustments to the the December year end figures. They both have a couple of areas to work on so please pray there are not too many interruptions.

Last week Paul was asked on Thursday to travel with Stewart (Dar base manager) to the Rufiji area on Friday. This was to attend some meetings with Youth with a Mission (YWAM) and staff from Mchukwi hospital visiting the Regional Medical Officer of the Rufiji District at a place called Utete. The reason for the meetings was to discuss some plans of extending our Medical flights in the district which currently have involved YWAM but now Mchukwi hospital have agreed to help as well. It was a long day and Paul set off with Stewart at 5am and eventually returned after 9pm, the drive was about 240km and took about 4.5 hours. The meetings went well and we have the backing of the District Medical officer. We were then asked to go and see the Regional Executive officer and the Regional Commissioner they were not at their offices but we were able to find them together fairly near and were able to explain about the work. So now we have their agreement we will hope to soon extend the medical work within the area within a couple of months when the final details have been sorted out.

We hope you all have a wonderful week.

God Bless and love from us all
