Simple Village of Dawari


Dawari is a village in the Manyara Region, bordering both the Iraqw tribe and the Barabaig tribe.



This community is full of family farms. Everyone has a part in working the farm, from hard-working adults to young children.




There were less than a dozen huts/homes in view at any given point during our drive into the village.


However, in the evenings when we invited the community to come for evangelistic movies which we projected onto the side of the church, people emerged from the bush to see this unusual sight.


As Bob began to set up the projector each evening, there would inevitably only be a few people gathered, mostly the pastors. However, with the anonymity that comes with nighttime’s darkness, we found that the crowd grew to hundreds of people, both from this village but also from neighboring villages miles away.
