Another update has been received from Anji and Chris Dawkins last weekend full of interesting experiences from their current Kagera visit - being present at the birth of piglets; attending Sunday morning worship which included a 50 minute sermon and lasted nearly 4 hours!; attending a secondary school graduation that included frying eggs on a student's head; dancing and singing with MU members: and many other experiences. All this plus 5 hours teaching a day - they deserve our prayers! Anji and Chris have requested our prayers for the Tanzanian elections currently taking place.
