Kaka Michu,
ReplyDeleteSamahani, ila mmekosea kidogo.Huyo aliye pembeni ya Deputy HOM sio Kasia! Kasia is on the far right of the picture.(the lady in the light brown boots)
Asante Kaka Michu na siku njema.
Sister Jean is hero. At the time when we(tanzanian) were calling the desperate childrens "watoto wa mitaani", assuming that the city counsel will take care of them, while the city could not even care of its employee and city environment in general. Sister Jean welcomed the children and gave them not only a home but also empowering them to face their future life with intergrity. Asante sana Mama Sister Jean Pruett. Apolinari: NYC
