Communication At Last!

Very exciting news- I am writing this blog and posting it from the comfort of our very own campus all the way out here in Kitongo! Thanks to the generosity of the Bronxville Rotary Club in New York, we were able to purchase a satellite internet service a couple weeks ago on a trial basis, and everything seems to be working great. There are obviously little hiccups now and then (we are in the African bush after all), but overall, we are extremely happy with the service and it will definitely enable Kayci and I to stay in touch on a more regular basis with all of you.

Once again, the Rotary Club has come through in enabling us to build our organization’s infrastructure here in Tanzania so that we can ultimately serve more and more children across Tanzania. For those of you who don't know, the Rotary Club of Will Rogers in Tulsa, OK and Rotary International were the driving force behind our current water system on campus and are the reason we have permanent running water and great water pressure!

We hope that you all will stay tuned on a more regular basis so that we can keep you up to date on the day-to-day happenings here at JBFC in Tanzania!
