Service Visits!

Mar 12 2023

Sunday March 12

Our silence on the blog has been noticeable perhaps! We have let the students settle into their service placements and now we are about to launch our service tour to visit each of them. We will leave Monday morning March 13 and visit Nyayero (Irving), Shirati (Annalise, Annika, Tyson), Mugumu (Adrian, Rachel), and Kemgesi (Billy and Emily). We will return Monday, March 20th and then visit the students in Musoma (Destiny, Naomi, Saroj, Trevor). So stay tuned, we will try to post along our journey.

In the meantime, I asked students to send some pics of their time on service, so see the gallery below for a brief window into their lives to date. More details coming this week!
