Here I am...in Tanzania: August 2010

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Monday, August 9, 2010. That's what it's all about! Carolyn, Sarah, Chris, David, Miller, Carol, and Debbie with the Carpenter's Kids from Nzali. One of my favorite moments was watching the group play, you guessed it, head, shoulders, knees, and toes with the kindergarteners at Nzali Primary School. After the kids learned the English version, they (with a little help from Noel) demonstrated the Swahili version for the St. Paul’s folks. In mid-June a group of nine students and two t...

Here I am...in Tanzania: July 2009

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Monday, July 27, 2009. This year I spent Easter at Ipagala parish here in Dodoma. The parish priest is the Reverend Canon Mary Kanyamala who has the distinction of not only being the first female priest in the Diocese of Central Tanganyika, but the first female priest in the whole Anglican Church of Tanzania! She’s also the first female Canon and Archdeacon in Tanzania. An amazing woman! Rev Patrick Ward with the current and retired parish priests of Izava. Willy and his mom! Not a...

Here I am...in Tanzania: It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…a Carpenter’s Kids distribution

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-bird-its-plane-itsa-carpenters-kids.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Monday, March 16, 2009. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…a Carpenter’s Kids distribution. As with so many situations here, some background information would undoubtedly be helpful. First of all, the promised Land Cruiser roof rack update: we did end up getting a new roof rack and this one’s not made out of aluminum! Fans of The Lion King will recognize it: ‘Be prepared.’ Appropriate. Posted by Elizabeth Boe. This post makes me laugh! March 28, 2009 at 6:13 PM. Hey, how are you doing?

Here I am...in Tanzania: February 2009

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Thursday, February 5, 2009. Stone Town and the Road to Bwejuu. Another thing that stood out was the sheer number of tourists. It was a bit mindboggling. We’ve gotten used to being the only non-Tanzanians when we walk down the streets or walk into a store. Not in Stone Town. There you could go to a restaurant or a shop and the only Tanzanians would be the ones who worked there. It was pretty odd. Sarah’s green skirt was very popular with the tortoises. Several of them trie...I didn&...

Here I am...in Tanzania: August 2008

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Sunday in Dodoma and Mwitikira. That’s what I said today by way of introducing myself, over a loudspeaker, to almost the entire village of Mwitikira. Thanks to the Swahili skills of Miriam, Noel and Mmoti, I was able to say more than ‘Habari za mchana’ (good afternoon). Then it was time for all of the visitors to stand up and introduce themselves, so Sarah and I got to introduce ourselves to the congregation. Posted by Elizabeth Boe. Links to this post.

Here I am...in Tanzania: November 2008

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Thursday, November 27, 2008. On the road again…with an unexpected passenger. I realize that it’s been awhile since I’ve written a post for my blog, so sorry for the silence! Our November 15th visit to the parishes of Mchito and Makanda was more of an adventure than we’ve had in awhile. For one thing, it was one of the longest days we’ve had in quite some time. We left at 8:30am and got home at 6:30pm. Most of the day was actually spent in the Land Cruiser, I...Links to this post.

Here I am...in Tanzania: October 2008

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Best/Worst List and Favorites. Cindy and Pat, two of my good friends from New York, took a round-the-world trip last year (I think it was last year! And when they got home, they compiled a best/worst list. Mine is not really as entertaining as theirs, but hopefully some of you will find this interesting. Best place to get a mosquito bite:. There isn’t one. I’m not a fan. Worst place to get a mosquito bite (so far):. On the bottom of your foot! 1) I actu...

Here I am...in Tanzania: September 2008

http://elizabethboe.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Here I am.in Tanzania. Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Life in General or Something Like It. I’ve received a fair number of e-mails asking about what it’s like to live in Africa. Everything from what I eat and drink to questions about who I work with and where I work. I’ll try to answer some of the most frequent questions, but do feel free to pose others either via e-mail or leaving a comment on my blog and I’ll do my best to answer them. Pastor Noah is the Program Director and in addition to that job, he...
