. . . . . . Well, perhaps not! There is a Swahili phrase, which is commonly used in Tanzania, 'pole, pole', meaning 'slowly'. Nothing could better describe the development of our placements!

Nevertheless, we have made quite a lot of progress in recent weeks, and were composing this web page to describe it. However, those plans were overtaken by an event that was not 'pole, pole'!

Helen & Mike with Matthew William on his Birth Day

We are thrilled to be able to announce that we are now grandparents! Matthew William Priest was born in the early hours of this morning, nearly a week early. Helen and Mike are the proud, first-time parents, and everyone is doing very well.

We had planned to back in the UK in time for the birth. We will keep to the same dates for our visit, but, now, our grandson will be there for the whole of the time. We will finish our update of the last few weeks as soon as we can, and will also add the experiences of our UK trip.





More to come from John and Babs in Tanzania soon.
