A New Year

This is a new year in more ways than most. Sue and I left our jobs last week and are busy preparing for our trip. At least for now it seems more like changing jobs than retirement. I will actually have three jobs because in addition to teaching in the IT department at Tumaini University I will be working with a water well drilling group St Paul Partners where I am now on the board and with a Microfinance program for villages around Iringa. We will also make some connections with Steve and Susan Vinton who live and work in SW Tanzania building schools and supporting HIV patients. Their website is Village Schools and Steve posts a lot of interesting emails about their work. We will have good internet access in Iringa and plan to update this blog regularly. There should be a lot of interesting things to share.
