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!

Questions on how this works? Please, contact S. Patrice Colletti at patricecolletti@sbcglobal.net.

6/23/11 from S. Jeanette and S. Ellen

Yesterday all the servers to internet connections were down. Slow computers, electricty being off and full schedules are reasons you are not hearing from us more often.
 
Every morning we have a Swahili class for 39 to 50 minutes taught by one of the seminarians. Today we did numbers. Clearly S. Barbara in way ahead of us. Monday was greetings, Tuesday - animals, Wednesday - days of the week.
 
It rained very hard last night, so we got stuck coming back from our class with an elder wise man on ancient African traditions and customs, especially from his Luguyu tribe, from this area.
 
Greetings to all.   Love,  Jeanette
 
FROM S. ELLEN:

Trying to catch up on pictures.

This batch is from Fr. Jordan's birthday at the SDS-M provincial house in Dar es Saalam and our visit to the Cathedral when we first got here. Sorry they are out of order.
