Bring picked up by Bishop Godfrey at 9.00 fot a quick meeting with him and Canon Himily to talk about details of microfinance scheme.
It brcame apparent that the microfinance schemes were more understandable whe we heard that the one he was doing himself - maize growing had yielded 30 bags og grain in drought conditions. Just enough to feed his family. In a normal year he would expect 60 bags which would provide a surplus to sell and pay back thr losn and provide income for other things.
I didnt have time to chck the details but Bishop Godfrey keeps 150 chickens in a small building on a capital of only £176. They have not started laying yet.
Left Morogoro on the last leg of our journey back to Dar to see Phanuel and Sayuni again.
An uneventful journey. The car was the best we had experienced. It was a modern Toyoto Landcruiser gifted to the bishop. By a departing ex-pat. Our driver said that all the vehicles had been donated in various ways.
Arrivef in Dar to meet only Sayuni as Phanuel was on the way to Leshoto to visit a sick father. Anna taken to hospital with malarial vomiting. Thid is life in the Tropics
