I am going to be honest up front. I recently read an article about using Chat GPT (yes one of those AI services) to write or help create blog content that would inspire. So I gave it a try. I gave it some specific information about our recent Spelling Competition and let it go. Overall…

Student Presentation
One difference between what I remember of USA schools and the schools here in Tanzania that I have not gone into over the years is the students being expected to speak in front of large gatherings. Every morning students are selected to give a morning speech where they have to give a short speech typically…
End of 1st Semester Top Students
It has been a busy time for me personally. The school closed up for the mid year break between semesters in early June and will reopen the second week of July. So I am finishing up my time off here after Mom’s funeral and will be heading back just before the school opens. So as…

When I was preparing to enter the mission field many of the books that were recommended talked about cultural differences and every one of them dealt with some…
Another edition of Top Students
After 8 years it becomes more difficult to think of topics to write about in this blog, but I will always brag about our top students. This was our first exam of the new school year so overall results are mixed but they normally improve as the year goes along.
Year 8 started and reaching a goal
Tumaini Evangelistic Pre and Primary School has just started our eighty year as a Primary school. Last year was a major milestone here as we had our first class graduate from our school and move on to Secondary School (basically our High School). It is my understanding that five of the eight students who graduated…
2024 Year in Review
Another year done, another review of what happened. I am going to start things off by thanking everyone who has been praying for my health and for my family as we struggle with my Mom’s declining health. Parkinson’s and dementia together have really progressed this year to the point as we start 2025 we will…
