Tanzania 2009 #17

One correction from last Blog. The freezer at the clinic used propane not Liquid Oxygen.

Last couple days have been very busy. Yesterday we drove the 6-7 hours from Iringa to Dar es Salaam. (250 miles) When we arrived we hit the market for a while to collect a few souvenirs. Then it was off to the CEFA hostel to quickly freshen up as well as we could and it was off to a dinner meeting with the group that will be running the bicycle factory. These are an amazing group of men.
Up early this morning to have a meeting with a young man converting vegetable oil into Bio-Diesel. Then it was off to the airport to pick a bag that was lost and then it was found. Then we visited a textile mill which was a step into the past.
After a busy morning we were entertained at lunch by Dr. Mariam Nchimbi, Director of the University of Dar es Salaam Entrepreneur Centre and Dr. M.D. Baisi, Associate Dean of Postgraduate Studies.
Then it was a cultural tour of the local Shoprite where we found a few local treats. Then it was back to the hostel to relax a little before dinner.

Because of Him,
Randy
