On to Shinyanga

Good roads now till Mwanza. A day in Shinyanga. Visiting a project turns into community event.

The Ebeneza project has requested funding from the Friends of Tanzania. Previously the group purchased cows, which produced 2 new calfs. New request is for chickens -- eggs to be used for orphans they support, as well as for sale.

Joseph, our host, assembled the Ebeneza children and others to meet us and describe their needs. One group of 31 widows would like five sewing machines, which would help them support themselves.

Another group led by Pastor Massawe, who has moved here from Dar es Salaam, plans to open a school in January and is seeking funds for the nursery school classroom building.
