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.

Lupaso Dispensary: Jeanette and Ellen



Dorothea is dispensing medications to a long line of patients. Here she is instructing a man with malaria on how to take his medication.


 Yesterday I had the privilege of helping out in minor ways at a birth of a healthy boy. He had his cord wrapped around his neck, but Dorothea, the nurse handled things expertly.

7/7/11 Home Safe and Sound: S., Virginia and S. Barbara

Today, both Sister Virginia and Sister Barbara landed safely and happily back in the US. They flew together from Dar to Amsterdam. Then, Sister Barbara waited for her flight to the US, where she will spend some time with her "Clavius Group" of mathematicians before returning to Milwaukee.


Sister Virginia's plane to Detroit, USA was ready to take off as her plane from Dar was landing! So, she and six other passengers SPRINTED from one end of Amsterdam's airport to the other to catch the plane!

She made it.. .but her luggage did not.

She arrived in Detroit, and then to Milwaukee, after good flights and by Thursday afternoon, was already home. Her luggage arrived only hours later, hand delivered to the door!

Welcome back and a special grateful thanks to our Tanzania Education Initiative missionaries!
