Dear friends-
Some time has passed…
- the sun is still shining n it’s getting hot here-
the small rainseason is late... It didn’t rain a long time- everythin is dusty and every day ma feet are black- dirty... =)

During the last weeks I saw some other projects, spoke with people about children with mentally disabilities...
It feels like my researches just began now...
Cause here the pace of life is slower...
n it takes a lot of time to find out the right places/people to go/meet to get informations,
it also takes time to make appointments and then if you maybe got one - then the people are not there or they went somewhere else...

You just get informations through knowing the ‘right’ people-
to have and to get connections is the most important thing if you want to find out things...

Sometimes it’s hard to have patience with the circumstances n situations and also with myself...
Many times I was frustrated- or maybe disappointed_ cause for a research which I try to do you usually need much more time_
You’ve never met enough people_ you always could have done more...-

But I really have to remember myself everyday: It was Gods will that I came here_ so He is in control_
He is faithful- also when I am not- He IS! I need to stick onto his word n believe in the promises He gave me...

And besides my research I still teach everyday in the school “step-by-step learning Centre”...doing assessments and observations, writing reports for the end of the term (7th of Decemba).

Yeah- so far- ma head is full with many things..
But I am grateful for every little step God leades me....
To you my dearest friends- thx so much for ur prayas!!! I really appreciate it! I think just because of your prayas I am protected and blessed!

And also when many things here work in a different way_
I love it beeing here! If God will I’ll travel next week a bit ;) Thursday- Tuesday
“kama mungu anapenda nitasafiri weeki ujao“

Let God bless you in everyday life...!
yours
