Mery, Mery quite contrary. I don’t know why but that always sticks in my head when I am talking about or to Mery (pronounced Mary). She is of course nothing like the nursery rhyme song which has been largely equated to dark themes of torture. She is not even really like the definition: inclined to…

Mission Team to Tumaini Evangelistic Pre & Primary School
This is the second blog concerning the recent mission team from Mauldin United Methodist Church to the school I am currently working with in Tanzania. This was a first time a team had visited the school since it became a real school. There is a difference in visiting a preschool and a full fledge school…
The Mauldin UMC team visiting Kiruani TAG church
What a whirlwind this trip back to the site has been after the June break at school. Since arriving back, it has been very much a non-stop work week that somehow became a month without much of a chance to catch my breath. I was only back for a couple of weeks to do final…
