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.

Final Submission: Soon we will be home!


 Go down for the explanation please.

























































We tried to help with chores as much as possible. The novices quickly concluded that we were out of practice with washing clothes in a bucket/wash tub as it took us at least twice as long to wash each shirt. They didn’t trust us to use the wood stove but did let us peel fruit and dry dishes. I “helped” Sr. Bonita with the pigs by filling a feed bag and blocking a pig who escaped its pen from leaving the building (sorry no picture of that one). Sr. Bonita took the single bucket of water I was carrying (she carries two at a time) before I got half way and wouldn’t allow me to try to carry the manure bucket to the garden.
