Dear Friends and Family,
Many of you are far too young to remember, but stories (even movies) once came to us by installments. So also will the telling of the Clean Water for the World water filter system continue ...
Today, Ass't Headmaster Simon Panga came to Mwangaza to take the system to its new home, Moringe Sokoine LSS. As you can easily see, this man of God who cares deeply for his students and staff is very happy to be bringing the gift of clean/pure water to his school community. He was even perceptive enough to guess we had given up some luggage options (space & weight) for bringing more educational materials to Mwangaza, and thanked us and Mwangaza for that sacrifice.
We prevailed upon him to help us explain the system and its operation to some of the Mwangaza staff who were present and invited Simon to share a morning prayer, hymn, and chai. He quickly repeated what we had discussed to us in English (good teaching method, to verify your information), then shared the information with the staff in Kiswahili.
Mr. Panga accepted, for Headmaster Kwayu and Moringe, the challenge to be a "model community" in the use of this filter/purification system. He also reinforced that Moringe will certainly honor the contract language which says states that water will be freely given to anyone who asks for it, that there will never be an attempt to profit from selling the water provided by the system.
Simon sharing information with the Mwangaza staff, who by the way, asked excellent questions. No wonder we love being among our Tanzanian brothers and sisters.
Since it is unlikely that we will have time or opportunity to visit Moringe during our time here this year, Simon promised to send pictures when possible. He smiled when speaking of wanting to show the system installed and working well when the N. IL. Synod group visits Moringe in July.
Watch for the next installment(s) to come,
Peace and blessings,
Mike & Sharon and our Brother Simon
