The farm is progressing well, but we have a good problem, that so much passion fruit is being produced it is breaking the wires because of the weight. The fruit is very sweet (purple variety) and the market price fluctuates a lot.

On the water front on the dam, we received an estimate for a plastic liner and new pump of $23,000 US dollars. This is way too expensive and they would only guarantee it for 1 year.

Newsletter October 2016

The water on the farm dam has completely dried up and we can see that the termite hill soil did not stop the water from leaking and ended up at the bottom.

Tansania 10.04. - 28.05.2016

Wie oft wir schon in Tansania waren? Ja, da müssten wir erst mal nachrechnen. Aber ist das wirklich wichtig? Wir haben den Eindruck, es ist Teil unseres Lebens.
Im April/ Mai 2016 waren wir wieder auf Reisen. Dieses Mal hatten wir fast fünf Wochen Zeit, deshalb Gelegenheit, uns mit mehreren Leuten zu treffen und einige Orte zu besuchen.

The rains were not very good here in northern Tz and the harvest is poor, so the price of maize is higher than usual and will rise. We are very grateful for generous gifts, for food for 2 schools as well as to fill both maize stores.

We have continued to try various different crops; onions doing well, tomatoes, cucumbers, egg plants. One of our problems is the very strong sun, which necesitates the use of blanket or mulch which is hard to come by.

Tansania 8.10. - 3.11.2014

"Alle Jahre wieder" könnte man sagen, denn auch in diesem Jahr verbrachten wir im Herbst ebenfalls fast vier Wochen (8.10. - 3.11.14) in Tansania. Doch obwohl es nicht unser erster Aufenthalt dort war, kann man nicht von Routine sprechen. Diesesmal hatten wir zwei unserer Patenkinder dabei.

Just a couple of weeks ago we managed to finish lining the reservoir. We chose not to line it with plastic sheeting as finances did not permit. Instead we lined it with termite soil mixed with bentonite (which expands when put in water) and Mike has done a very good job with a large labour force - up to 35 people at times.

Newsletter April 2013

We have had a major rethink about what we are going to do with the problem of water. In the last letter you may remember that we were hoping to buy a reverse osmosis pump to remove the high fluoride in the well water. About a third of the money required came in for this, so we put our thinking caps on and the Lord gave Mike the idea to build a small reservoir with a lining, which will give a 4,000,000 litre capacity.

Tansania 28.09. - 15.10.2012

Wir sind zurück im kalten herbstlichen Deutschland und haben so viel erlebt, so viele Leute getroffen, kennen gelernt, so viel gesehen und so viel Staub geschluckt. Es waren tolle, volle Tage und wahrscheinlich werden nur Tagebucheintragungen und die vielen Bilder immer wieder die Erinnerung auffrischen, man kann sich eigentlich kaum alles merken.
