Beautiful Tanzania

After 5 days in the Serengeti and other Tanzanian National Parks, we are awestruck over the beauty of this country.   Last week with the Palliative Care Team, we experienced the beauty and hospitality of the Tanzanian people. This week we drank in the extraordinary sights of nature- plants, animals, birds.  What a riot of colors we saw in the wide variety of birds, the humorous colors and patterns of the zebras, the silly antics of the monkeys and thequick fierceness of the lion on prowl.  Each of us are grateful beyond words for this tremendous experience.

Tomorrow we will say our goodbyes to the team at the Nkoaranga Lutheran Hospital and to this magnificent country.  A little piece of our hearts will stay here with our new friends and their work.  We hope to bring their stories back to you and look forward to sharing what these weeks have meant to us.  As we wash off the dust from the safari trail and begin to pack our bags to leave, we end this last blog with a picture- you know what "they" say...... a picture is worth a thousand words.

Asante sana (Thank you)  for joining us on this journey.

  2. We are so proud of you all for going on this needful trip and helping so many. I really wished to go with you since I worked in mobile medical work in the remote villages for 25 yrs. As you found the Tanzanians are so gracious, appreciative, and caring. Bless you for serving.
    Love & blessings, Myrtice Owens
