Arusha headquarters

People have wondered a bit about what we live like, what our office is like. This is the ministry’s headquarters in Tanzania. No mud hut! We do have a very odd tree in the front that grows in distinct, gangly layers. We call it the “Dr Suess tree.”


One of our most important areas is the kitchen. This area holds a refrigerator and stove, as well as a small table for food prep. A sink and a few shelves for dishes are in a small, adjoining room, and the pantry is yet adjoining that.

The bundle of wires you see on the wall (between the refrigerator and stove) is the generator hook-up. When the electricity is out, Bob knows how to connect everything so that we can at least attempt to keep the fridge cool and a few lights on.
