Kwaheri Singida -- a Last Look

Exploring Singida yielded few familiar scenes in the town which has expanded enormously since 1966. The Urban district has a population of about 120,000, and in the 1960s I imagined it was about 5,000, but that's just what it felt like.

Fr Carroll's former rectory is now the office for a social service group, Singida Inter African Committee (SIAC)
