Our Purpose

Our purpose is to serve and minister in the communities of Dar es Salaam, Dodoma and primarily Zanzibar (Unguja Island). It is our desire to empower the local church and the community by assisting our Tanzanian Partners in addressing the extreme poverty in these regions. We accomplish this through humanitarian means such as medical missions, community health development, vital construction projects, and through our child sponsorship program in which we corporately provide for the nutritional, educational, emotional and spiritual needs of 103 children affected by HIV/AIDS.

ZANZIBAR!(sunday)

Dee fell in love(:
The kids were saying goodbye to the team. It was very cute. And kind of sad.
This was on the ferry to Zanzibar.
Kathy and Jenori waiting for our boxes to get off the ferry.

The boxes were pretty beat up after three plane rides, a ferry ride, an endless loading and unloading, but they survived!
I think this group was called New Generation.
The band was really good!
The church put on a Swahili wedding ceremony for Doug and Melanie!

Kathy and Cathleen were dancing outside the church.
Hey! It's Sunday and we're in Zanzibar! This is Savannah reporting from Tanzania, East Africa. This morning the team went to church, of course. Let me just say, that that was the funnest church experience I have ever had. It was loud and everyone was lively. Later we took the 4P.M. ferry and got to Zanzibar at 6:15ish. We checked into our hotel and then had a nice dinner at the hotel restaurant across the street (By the way, not as good as American food!). So today was pretty mellow, oh, except I forgot to mention that a guy at church asked me for my phone number and the customs agent here proposed to me!

Lots of love,
Savannah[:
