Babati
On this trip I was accompanied by Austern, we met doing a Masters in Blockchain
at RMIT in Melbourne, along with Richard, a builder and mate of near on 50 years
(both pictured opposite). What a great team!
We went to Babati to see Zilper (left), an organisation we used to do a lot of work with.
We still sponsor children via them who need club feet and bow leg operations.
While in Babati we visited Manyara Regional Referral Hospital and met Dr Mwijage
and assistant Sakina. We were introduced to them by Dr Ludovic, who examines our
children for general health each week at the Zilper Centre. We plan to begin basic
surgeries in February at Babati, this is not connected with the Zilper Centre.
One of our jobs is to express gratitude and treat our connected workers well (above).
The most enjoyable part of our evening together is when each person stands up
and says a little about themselves. It was a fun evening and I always love staying at
and eating the food at Asmorein – one of my favourite hotels in the world.
