Waldie's World: Finding Lulu: The Tanzanian Connection
http://waldiesworld.blogspot.com/2015/07/finding-lulu-tanzanian-connection.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. Finding Lulu: The Tanzanian Connection. In some ways it's hard to believe I was ever there. We've been back from Tanzania for just over 3 months and I'm still trying to make sense of the experience. That being said, it was really hard to write this blog post. For my office. But here is a little writeup that I did:. Check it out here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Waldie's World: December 2014
http://waldiesworld.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. December Lulu Graduation Festivities. December has been a fun, yet eventful month. In the early part of the month the Lulu Project celebrated the graduation of about 40 of its girls from 5 of the 8 groups here in Mwanza. As I have described in a previous blogpost about Lulu graduatio. N, we celebrate for three full days whenever we have a graduation. It's a lot of work but we have a great time and this allows for all the girls to participate in the celebrations. On Tuesday of ...

Waldie's World: The Pain of Knowing and Feeling
http://waldiesworld.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-pain-of-knowing-and-feeling.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The Pain of Knowing and Feeling. I know that for a while I've been relatively silent in general on this blog and I have been especially silent in terms of our return and reintegration to the US. Honestly, I just don't know what to say. I've got so much going on inside my own head, it's kind of hard to get it out and also to translate the feelings into words. This picture says a lot to me but I'm not sure if it'll mean much to others. I know how lucky I am to have had this opportu...

Waldie's World: The Closing of a Chapter and the Starting of a New
http://waldiesworld.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-closing-of-chapter-and-starting-of.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. The Closing of a Chapter and the Starting of a New. We head out today from Maryknoll Lay Missioners's headquarters in NY as we slowly make our way to South Carolina. Christopher and I were both sad last night and not wanting to pack up. Excited to see family and get settled into our new jobs, but we are definitely mourning the reality that our "Africa experience" is over (for now). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Waldie's World: Back in the US Again
http://waldiesworld.blogspot.com/2015/05/back-in-us-again.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Back in the US Again. Saying goodbye to the "big house" in Ossining, NY. This place is beautiful but it was SO COLD for our African-adjusted bodies! When you combine the furniture we got from family and all the crap we didn't know we kept in storage, we totally filled this 10' truck. What happened to living minimally! Exciting moment of crossing the border from NC to SC. We're baAAAAck! First stop (after getting a rental car) - our house! The house is slowly coming together.

Waldie's World: February 2015
http://waldiesworld.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 28, 2015. Last weekend I had the good fortune to go to the wedding of one of our Lulu girls, Hamisa. The bride and groom stand together. According to tradition she is leaving her family and joining his so she is not supposed to smile, otherwise it will look like she's happy to get away from her parents and family. Her side of the family welcoming the new additions into their home. Hamisa's sister, also a member of Lulu, processed her gift up, wearing her Lulu shirt! OK, tell him God bl...

Waldie's World: March 2015

Saturday, March 21, 2015. What We Do When We're not Doing. What do we do when we are done with a day's work? Play with kids, of course. Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The Pain of Knowing and Feeling. As of today we are 1 month and 1 day away from departing TZ, our home for the past 3 years. How do I describe the mixed emotions that this entails? This picture says a lot to me but I'm not sure if it'll mean much to others. I feel so good about meeting them on that level. And they are so funny! Tanzanian humor is...
