Polish Day in Dar

Just a few pictures from the evening meeting of Polish Ambassador, Consul and Commerce official from Polish Embassy in Nairobi - with Polish community in Dar es Salaam on December 14, 2012. A very good idea of mobile consulate in Tanzania, which helps us living in Tanzania a lot. And an opportunity to know better each other.

The Last Shipment

Finally, the last shipment of remaining four items on the shopping list for the new delivery unit in our health center will be on the way from Dar es Salaam to Kiabakari by the end of this week. My supplier, Crown Limited from Dar, has notified me that the missing items have arrived to their showroom in Mikocheni and they are finally in the position to ship them to me. It's been a long wait since May when the first items started to arrive to the health center. I am happy now that the project generously supported by the Polish Foreign Ministry via Polish Embassy in Nairobi through the Small Grants scheme will be done and dusted. It will allow me to sit down with the staff of the health center and our volunteers and talk about the immediate needs of the health facility, so I could propose a new project to the embassy. A good news day today indeed!

The Official Opening Of The New Delivery Unit

Yesterday we held a simple function of the official opening of the new delivery unit in our health center in Kiabakari. The modern equipment was donated free of charge by the Polish Foreign Ministry through the embassy in Nairobi in Kenya. We hosted the representative of the Polish ambassador in Kenya, Miss Joanna Popławska, who officiated the opening and received the project report. The photos from the occasion can be seen here. We are very grateful to the Polish government for this wonderful gift who certainly will improve the mother and child healthcare in Kiabakari and the whole Mara Region. Thank you!

Missa Luba

Done with the to-do list, resting in my room, immersed in thoughts, recollections and memories, visualizing the coming Christmas time filled with various eye catching and heart touching celebrations, I found myself reminiscing one of the best choirs in Africa, if not the very best (at least out of those I know myself) - the Muungano National Choir from Nairobi, Kenya. I remember the very first time I happened to listen to their a capella songs some 16-17 years ago... I rushed then to Nairobi to buy their audio CD and - as I was happy to find out - also their VHS recording of the same audio CD...
