Jambo Jam for Kondoa

Helen raises money for our Kondoa mission project by making jams, chutneys and marmalades which are for sale on the missions table in the foyer.  If you have fruit to spare contact Helen to see if she can use it to make some of her delicious preserves!

Creepy Crawlies

Being a hot climate (about 33 degrees today) the cock roaches sprint along at an amazing rate when I turn the light on at  night.  The kitchen bench also seems to be a race track for large fierce-looking ants about 12 times larger than NZ ants.  Iri says they bite fiercely, too.  I have just turned on the kitchen tap and about three crawled out ahead of the flow of water.  How gross!

The mosquitoes are succumbing to the electrified, battery-operated tennis racquet.  No, I am not going mad, just look it up on the web and you will see these wonderfully useful items.

I found a spider in the bed one day and have killed 6 mosquitoes within the net over the bed.  However, no mosquito bite has produced malaria yet.  Thank God for that!  The cook has developed malaria and there is typhoid about as well, because of a dicey water situation.  Our vaccinations are holding out, though.  Phew!
