Diane and Tim have entered into "retirement" and are now teaching 5 months of the year at Makumira Seminary in Arusha, Tanzania ...now for their fifth year!
Saturday, November 16
Diane visitng with child and mother at the Plaster House dedication. The Plaster House is a new facility under the direction of the Arusha Lutheran Medical Center. It is a place for children to staay for rehabilitation after having orthopedic surgery. You can see the "plaster" cast on the little girl's right leg.
Tim visitng with a group of boys at the Plaster House. The children stay there for up to two months, usually without their parents. There are "house mothers" who take care of them plus the rehab specialists and volunteers for education and play. Before this facility, they would return to their village right after surgery and not have the proper care or rehab.
You can see this little guy is a real "charmer!"
These are the 6 Tanzania women seminarians in our class. You can see the chapel in the background and that is the library on the left.
This is the pathway from the seminary to the seminary housing for its students.
Seminary married student housing--two families per unit.
