News from
Tanzania..............
On Sunday,
November 16, I left Cameroun planning to reach Tanzania together with Father
David. It’s a long trip. Often the planes take different strange routes. We
reached Nairobi after 4 hours flight and from here, by a small plane we arrived
to Dar es Salaam Capital city of Tanzania. To tell you the truth we landed to a
wrong airport (Zanzibar) but realizing the mistake, we had the time to regain the
flight and go on with our trip.
At about
1:00 AM we arrived at Dar es Salaam where we met Sister Rita of the
Congregation of the Mother of Carmel, the Indian Sisters working with us at
Bouar Seminary. On Monday morning we went around visiting with them their
community. They work in education and their schools are truly beautiful.
We also did
meet a group of young women from Tanzania, Malawi and Kenya who are preparing
to become Sisters and, for about an hour, I could have a friendly conversation
with them, mostly about the situation in Central Africa. In the afternoon we
went to the sea shore of the beautiful Indian Ocean with its fantastic views.
We crossed the city whose traffic it`s truly impressive.
We did wake
up at 3:30 AM on Tuesday to travel north to see Mikumi National Park, a really beautiful
park with giraffes, buffalos, antelopes, zebras, elephants and we did watch two
lionesses walking just in front of us. After the visit to the park we went to
see the CMC Sisters` home at Morogoro with its beautiful school that has the
most beautiful children! A very interesting trip which allowed us to know
another Africa who is growing very fast, a trip that also granted us to know
better these great Indian Sisters with whom we work since many years in Bouar.
Today,
Wednesday, we are flying to Kenia
