Jambo (Hello).

Just a quick update this morning:
Yesterday the teams split. The hospital team viewed rehab facilities in the Arusha area, and met a lot of people doing great work. Stephanie is gaining a firm grip on the Tanzanian approach, which focuses on local people doing things for themselves as much as possible. She was particularly impressed with with a shop that builds wheel chairs. We also visited the site of the new hospital. It will be very modern.

The school team spent their first day with the girls, and had some great experiences. Hopefully I can convince someone to write more about that tonight.

We had dinner with Dr. Mark Jacoboson, director of Selian Hospital last night, and had some great coversation about how we might advance the relationship between Bethel and Selian.

Hopefully more details on all this. We are off to Hospice soon today, so I must go.

Peace to you all.
