Kwaheri Tanzania!

Today was our long goodbye as an amazing trip winds down and we begin our journey home.

After breakfast we visited the headquarters of the Northern Diocese of the Lutheran Church to meet with the director and staff of Building A Caring Community (BCC).  BCC is an outreach of MOSAIC which serves children with physical and mental disabilities.

There are 11 BCC centers around the Moshi area where these special needs kids are loved and cared for.  We visited one of the centers and were inspired by the work done there.

From there we did some shopping around Moshi Town before heading over to the Amani Home For Street Children.  I encourage you to click on their link above and learn more about this great outreach.  They currently provide a home for 80 street children while also providing education and skills training. I whole heartedly vouch for the effective work this special place is doing and encourage you to consider supporting them.


After getting all packed up it was time to head back up to the orphanage to leave our four wonderful volunteers.  Our group bonded over these two weeks together and there were several tears shed as we said our goodbyes!  God bless Natalie, Rebekah, Raechel and Anna as they help the sisters care for the orphans.  We are all so proud of these faithful young ladies!

Now begins the long journey home.  We are anxious to get back together with our families. We leave Tanzania with hearts full of gratitude and humility.  We have been changed by this place and the people we have met along the way.

You should consider participating in a Vision Trip to Tanzania.  We will return with videos and thousands of pictures but everyone in our group will tell you the same thing...  You have to see this place for yourself to believe it.
