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

Hi again!
 
The computer is still functioning and we are having a free afternoon, so here is more info on our experiences:
 
From the pictures I'd seen, I had no idea how large "Jordan University College" is. The buildings are well constructed. The grounds are lovely. We had a presentation by Fr. Bernard Witek, SDS on their future dreams. He left Wednesday for a fund raising trip to Europe and the US. Everyone praises Father David Brusky, and Brothers Donald and Bert for the initial work they did here. I tried to take a couple pictures to give a sense of the size, but that is not really possible. (Those have not yet been sent.) We have had some excellent lectures. Dr Kasimila spoke on the leadership crisis in Africa. Brother Polycarp, OSB spoke on the geography of Tanzania.
