Welcome! Karibu!

This blog ("web log") is compiled by Sister Patrice Colletti, SDS to share the stories of our four Sisters who sojourn in Tanzania this summer, June- July 2011. The information below is from their emails; we've edited it for clarity.

Blogs typically go in "reverse chronological order", with the most RECENT posting at the top. So, as you read along, you're reading "backwards" in time, with the most recently received and posted information first.

You can also receive these postings by email! This is an option you can select, but isn't required. Enter your email address where it says FOLLOW THIS BLOG BY EMAIL to set up your email to automatically get a copy of the posting each time a new one goes up. Then, you can read it on your email. You are always welcome to come here to read it as well!

6/22/11 Visit to Orphanage (S. Ellen and S. Jeanette)

One of the things we did yesterday (Wednesday, June 22, 2011) was to visit the Mgolole orphanage run by the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters (a Morogoro Diocesan community).
We brought them dolls and dresses made by people in California. The children liked to be held and try on our glasses and hats. Although the orphanage was close by, it took quite awhile over the sandy road.
