Illula Medical Center
January 08, 2008
Hello St. Paul Lutheran! We've done some exciting
things in Tanzania lately. Yesterday we went to
Illula Medical Center. We got a chance to meet Dr.
Saga, who has been a physician at Illula for 40
years. Dr. Saga also met my uncle when he was in
America in 1990 and connected with my dad last year.
He greeted Michael and I with hugs once we had
established our connections and made sure to
introduce us to his wife. A baby was born while we
were there so we got to see the new mtoto (child). I
am speaking much Swahili here and am very grateful I
learned some of the language before coming here. We
also went to Image Secondary School. The students
greeted us with song and dance! Internet time is
limited so this is all I can write. Kwaheri!
