After a busy year the workshop, staff at Neema Crafts get a well earned two week break over Christmas. As its
time for a bit of a clear-out there was an auction to sell off surplus and
other items. One item was a ‘Beach Bum’ bag which was keenly fought over by the
bidders.
The last day of week was
dedicated to a staff party and meal. Two staff, Connie and Augustino, were
leaving so they were presented with presents and a cake. A custom in Tanzania
is that as a sign of respect important people are fed cake. This happens at a
wedding when the bride feeds the groom, and on this occasion when Connie feed
the Bishop, carefully supervised by Augustino.
Connie is a key member of the
deaf football team so the team-mates presented him with a new football shirt.
(Does anyone else think that Connie looks a bit like the other football star of
the 60’s, Pele?)
It is a busy time for churches.
The Christian Fellowship had 2 services – a early evening Carol Service, and
one which featured a team of puppets.
Talking of ‘puppets’, the
‘puppies’ of one of the guard dogs are doing well. So much so that their mum
was willing to leave them for a few minutes so they could have their photo
taken.
