Team Tanzania. It's so wonderful to see those smiling faces and know that the SCAW donors are helping to enrich the lives of so many families! Mama continues to amaze me! Stay well and thanks for sharing!

How wonderful to have instant videos of your time with the children! Thank you. Why am I NOT surprised to see a photo of Leslie holding a young child? Some things on distributions just do not change! Keep up the great work, all of you!

Hello Team Tanzania: You're off to a wonderful start. Your photos and video clips are fabulous. It brings back many memories of my time in Tanzania. Say hello to Mama for me. Lori it so nice to see you on your first distribution. The Maryborough school community will be very proud of you. Safe travels and enjoy every minute of it.

Love those hats! And that is a jackfruit Leslie has? Was that not Kristein's most favourite fruit of all time?

You all look well and happy. Hi to all especially Leslie and Jeff.

Hi Mike,

So great to hear from you! We are doing well. Drinking lots of water because it is SO hot (although the locals have been complaining to us about the cold). We have seen 1 monkey so far, and a number of giant bats.

These blog reports are the best ever. The one minute videos give a true view of the distribution. The pictures come alive. We can feel the excitement. Well done Team Tanzania.

What a Team! Thank you for the introduction to all! Everyone is so good at what they do! A great team is a result of a great leader...and that, you are, Ted! There is no doubt in my mind that any child who crosses this teams path is in for a most unforgetable gift and experience! Hats off to each and every one of you! May God bless you all!

Hi Mary-Jo,

So great to hear from you. Leslie was pleased to hear that you had added a comment, and we spent some time reminiscing about travelling with you (all good). Yes - that is a jackfruit.

GREAT job Team Tanzania. I am loving your posts and the video clips are amazing. it really helps us share your experience here at home. Wishing you continued success with your remaining distributions. Enjoy all the beautiful children. Remember Leslie, you can't bring one home. Take care!!!

Jennifer ~ someone forwarded your August 1st report to me and I was thrilled to see a fellow Bostonian doing work for SCAW! I was part of Team Togo 2012 and was so honored to be able to participate in such a worthy event. It sounds as if you are getting as much out of it as I did. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip!!

It is always great to read reports from SCAW volunteers at distribution areas. The team can often be overcome by emotional feelings, seeing sheer joy, accompanyied by some apprehension on childrens faces. SCAW does so much to help needy kids around the world,and can feel that it is all a job well done!

Dear Team Tanzania 2013

How wonderful to see the results of the hard work of everyone involved the process! May each recipient be blessed with good sleep, hope and the knowledge that people really do care. Thanks for being the hands, feet and faces of the donors. Well Done!
