Dedicated to our donors, who make it possible.
We arrived at rural Kibaga School on a beautiful Tanzanian morning. The temperature was perfect with blue skies all around, a wonderful change from yesterday’s humidity of 94%. Stately coconut trees formed the back drop for the photos. Following roll call, we were touched to hear a group of children orphaned by AIDS sing the following song they had composed for the occasion:
Welcome to our school.
We never thought it would happen.
We are so happy you came here, please feel at home.
We are orphans with lots of problems ... No food, no one
To take care of us.
We beg people to let us live with them.
CHORUS
Twawashukuru wafadhili wetu mungu awazidishie
Thank you very much. May God bless you.
Today you have brought us a great gift.
We are begging you to keep up your support.
We pray that God will bless you more and more
So you can help more children.
CHORUS
Our teachers give us a good education
They treat us with respect and do not discriminate.
They teach us wisdom.
CHORUS
We are begging you that this will not be
The last time you visit our school.
We did not expect it and we appreciate it.
CHORUS
So many people have lots of money and big companies
But they do not come to help us.
They are not even empathetic
But you have sent help to us.
CHORUS
Now this is the last verse.
The pen has run out of ink.
We are so happy.
May God bless you more and more
So you can give happiness to more children.
CHORUS
