Frisbees

Samantha and other Ultimate players in the Philadelphia area organized to collect Ultimate Frisbees for Mozambique! Family and friends carried them here over the holidays. Jesse distributed a Frisbee to each dedicated player from last year’s team. This year each of those students is going to teach primary school somewhere in the province… and hopefully start a team there. Some are going to teach in very remote areas - it’ll be fun to see this new Ultimate Frisbee movement grow. New students arrive to the Teacher Training College in February. I bet they’ll be some great potential Ultimate players in this new group too. Jesse’s hoping to organize tournaments!

We’re changing our post office box for this year. Now our address is C.P. 85 Xai-Xai. There will be no more C.P. 270.

Happy Holidays!!

Happy New Year! Best wishes to everyone!

For us, 2008 left and 2009 entered packed with memories.

Before Christmas, Phil visited! It was wonderful to spend time with him in Mozambique.

Then our whole family met in Tanzania for an amazing vacation of hiking, safaari, and beaches. One highlight was climbing Mt Meru - the hardest hike I've ever done, but worth it. We summitted as the sun was rising over Mt Kilimanjaro.


The beautiful beaches of Zanzibar stretched way into the ocean during low tide.

After Tanzania, Paul came to see Mozambique. We took a lovely, relaxing side trip into Swaziland too.

It was wonderful to be together and share these beautiful places and experiences. Now I'm ready to get home to Xai-Xai and soon meet my new students! Classes will probably begin in February.
