Tanzania, Tanzania!

School Anthem

Graduation

Just to let you know that I posted a new photo album on Facebook with pictures taken today at Chief Edward Wanzagi Girls' Secondary School on the occasion of the second graduation of the Form Four students. The link to the album is here. Enjoy!

Uprooted Tree

Uprooted and transferred. Just returned from Buturu, from a farewell dinner with the Resurrection sisters, in honor of Sr. Ewa, the superior, who is wrapping up her Tanzanian odyssey and after few years of selfless and dedicated work for girls and the school community of Chief Edward Wanzagi Secondary School in Buturu is getting ready to fly back to Poland...

Cooperation in God's Creation

Just came back from Chief Wanzagi Girls’ Secondary School at Buturu. Went out there this morning to document work we have accomplished there. Saying ‘we’ I mean my workers and myself who were asked by Sisters of the Resurrection, running the school, to help them in construction of their own house (a religious convent with all additional infrastructure) – the very first convent of the Congregation in whole of Africa! And also, to build two new classrooms in Sisters’ continuous effort to develop school infrastructure for the benefit of Tanzanian girls’ and their quality education...

We started the construction works in mid-November 2009 and by the end of April 2010 both projects were fully completed, though we had some unexpected breaks, including my emergency trip to Poland in March seeking medical help for my illness.

Browsing through pictures I was gradually taking throughout the whole construction process till today it amazes me how creative we, human beings, are! From the abandoned cassava field in November last year till (five months later) complete convent compound with underground water tank, solar system, polytanks, full electrical wiring, quality workmanship and finishing...Same with two new classrooms...

I do not want to keep this amazement to myself only, so decided to share some pictures with you, depicting our participation in God’s creation which is unfolding in front of our eyes and will continue to do so with us participating in it till Lord Jesus comes again...

The first set of photos shows the progress of the construction of Sisters’ convent from the setting of foundations till today:

The second set shows the construction of two new classrooms at Chief Wanzagi Girls' Secondary School:

 

Blessed be Lord, God of all creation!
