Mpeli and I left the Nyamani this morning at 5:30 to beat Dar traffic. We made it to the airport just after 6. We were on our way to Iringa by 7. The two Flightlink pilots did a good job. We had an uneventful flight. When we arrived at Neema and Mpeli’s house, we had breakfast of fresh pineapple juice, pancakes and local honey, bananas, fresh pineapple, and coffee. After breakfast we headed out for Asante Sana Children’s Home, Nzihi. They are working on paving the road from Iringa straight to Ruaha Natonal Park. For a dirt road, it’s in pretty good shape. The Nzihi farm (Asante Sana Farm) is going through some changes as they cope with reduced rainfall. Currently, onions, cabbage, greens, and beans are being planted. The crops will be sold for produce and also to support the Children’s Home. Currently, there are four milk cows (two are pregnant), five goats, two pigs, and 52 chickens. The chickens produce, on average, 22 eggs per day. A virus coming out of the National Park area has killed many goats in the area. We worked on plan to increase production by expanding the land planted and changing the crops being planted. The soil is salty - literally salty - and produces excellent tomatos and onions. We are working on bringing 20 more chickens to the farm. On the way back from the farm, we passed a young woman who symbolizes the village life of most Tanzanian women. She had firewood that she had gathered on her head and her baby tied around her with a kitange. We went to Asante Sana and saw the well. After finishing the well, Mizray discovered the water pipes at the Children’s Home were too rusty to handle the water and were replaced. We are still working on the hot water lines. We met with Pawdre Scout and Scholastica, his wife, who are doing a great job. The home reflects more and more the love and care of the Daily Bread Life Children’s Home way of being a family. Lazaro, who manages the farm, and is also chairman of the village is loves the children and its obvious they love him. Two children pictured are really the face of what the partnership with Asante Sana (Daily Bread Life Children’s Home) is all about. Esau (HIV positive) receives a special diet and is growing stronger every day. His smile continues to light up a room. He is going to school. The other child is Rehema . You may remember her. She is featured on the Teleios Facebook page and newsletter. She had life-threatening difficulties breathing and was growing very weak last September. She had been rushed to the hospital in Iringa several times. She had little hope for survival. Through the generosity of Teleios partners, she received the best in medical care in Tanzania going to the national hospital in Dar Es Salaam. Today she is doing great. With a bright smile and unafraid, she came up to me and touched my head. (Adults let children touch their heads to show acceptance of the children). We returned to the Children’s Home. The time quickly came for evening worship. Of course, they sang “We Are Happy.”  A Teleios partner in her 90s had provided knitted caps for the children. The temperature is “cold” here. The children really appreciated the gift. They spent the evening styling and profiling with the caps. I just learned that today is Workers' Day, a national holiday. So, no school, no work, etc. I am not working. Our plan is go to the Kidetete farm. UPDATE on the Secondary School: Word on the street is that the National Education Officer has approved the documents on the design, curriculum ,etc. We are now waiting for a letter.
