This blog was created to spread the vision of our work in Tanzania. After working in Arusha for a few years now I have discovered that to make any real change we must focus on the women of this community. Our nonprofit Shining Light (www.shiningalight.org) has been created to provide jobs to women in extreme poverty so that they can be empowered to care for themselves and their families. Our goal is to keep women working and children educated.

As my time here in the United States is coming to an end I find myself busier than ever. I have been in the process of setting up a nonprofit that will focus on getting the children of LOHADA (www.lohada.org)sponsored and help to transfer the donations for them over to Tanzania. Another project that is in the works is setting up a business to maunufacture Maasai Sandals, creating jobs and generating income for the family members of the LOHADA children so that they can return to their homes. This type of missions is to create a sustainable living for the women of Arusha so that they may provide for themselves and their family. I continue to fund raise, depending solely on the generosity of others. Thank you for your prayers and many donations. You can find these sandals on my Facebook page called "Sandals from Tanzania" if you would like to purchase a pair.
