Tanzania

Tanzania is a country in East Africa.


I will be visiting the Bwambo village mission located in the mountains in the Diocese of Same - in the northern part of the country in the vicinity of Moshi.  Fr. Beda Kiure is the pastor.  He is also a medical doctor, and runs a clinic at the parish.

Dr. Mark and Molly Druffner, along with their seven children, have served at the mission for 6 summers.  Check out their blog here.

Besides meeting the people and experiencing life at the mission, I plan to make rounds with Father Beda - both his pastoral rounds and his medical rounds.

After spending a week at the mission, I will meet some friends from the United States, and we plan to visit several places:
     * Maua Retreat Center
     * Mount Kilimanjaro (do some hiking)
     * Arusha
     * Visit a Masai Village
     * Safari in Tarangire National Park
 
Then we will travel to the southern part of the country to visit St. Monica's mission in the Diocese of Njombe.
