              There are many people following this blog for the first time so I will give a quick summary of Trinity’s work in Tanzania before going on to explain our future plans. Last summer Trinity sent a team of 8 students to the coastal town of Tanga in Tanzania, Africa. Our mission was to firmly establish and strengthen a partnership with a  local Christian church, and together do a

“I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121: 1-2. All the Canadian team members are back home now, but each one will tell you that their interest in this initiative and the Tanzanian people is not over. Two of our team’s main goals were to build a strong partnership with the Catholic Diocese of Tanga and

Hamjambo. The team is continuing to work hard at their volunteer placements. Our community assessment is begining to reveal a root issue in the community. Tanga is suffering most in the sectors of education and health care. Our team believes the root issue to both of these problems is with primary and secondary education. Primary and Secondary schools require students taking sciences to acheive

Team activities: After our first work week we came together for a community assessment meeting. Each counterpart pair gave a presentation which taught the rest of us about their work placement and issues observed in their field. For four hours we discussed, conversed, debated, brainstormed and shared ideas. More time in the field is needed to validate assumptions, confirm suspicions and generally

Planning and preparations have gone very well. We were able to confirm and visit the work placements which each team member and their Tanzanian counterpart will be serving.Arend and his CP have been accepted to work at the Tumaini Hospital. They offer many different services, so each week the CP can work in a different department of the hospital. Arend is a nursing student, and has some

Habari?Right from the beginning our journey was hopeful. Because of coincidental congestion, Air Canada offered me and Jamie a $500 flying voucher each to take a later flight. And upon arrival in Tanzania, it was nice to have all our luggage arrive, unlike last year. So far we have been able to visit with the people whom we were working with last year. They greeted us with warm hospitality. We

On March 20, 2009 our team hosted an authentic African dinner fund raiser for friends and family. We cooked for sixty people, and sixty people ate! Our guests were served a Tanzanian coconut bean soup and chapati as their first course. The main course was a delicious South African nut and raisin meatloaf accompanied with an East African squash-yam mixture and cabbage-pineapple salad. For desert

Last year a Trinity Western mission’s team was serving a Tanzanian grassroots organization building a community library, and dirt roads to an Eco Village project that was underway. At the close of the missions trip, we rejoiced with most of the roads done and the library almost finished. God has continued to put the Tanzanian people on my heart. Two of the team members, Jamie and I were
