Swahili Lessons

The YouTube Videos posted below are by a young man named Moses from Ohio. He is a Foreign Language Consultant and has almost 200 language videos out on YouTube.

Some of the other languages he teaches are Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Tibetan and Zulu.

For some of you PC/Windows users you may have just a white block showing - try clicking once in the middle of that box to launch the video.

This second lesson has a first and second part - he takes a long time in the first part writing everything on the board in the first part so I have only posted the second part where he goes through the translation and explanation.

Miwani for Mwanza Mission

In July 2009 the “Miwani for Mwanza” mission team from Atonement Lutheran Church traveled from Overland Park to Mwanza, Tanzania. “Miwani” is the Swahili word for eye glasses.

While in Tanzania the team worked with International Health Partners to begin the construction of an eye clinic at the Nyakato Health Center. The eye clinic is critically needed to serve over 200,000 people in the Southern Lake Victoria area.

Dennis and Paula Lofstrom and IHP-TZ oversee the Nyakato Health Clinic through the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania.

In June of 2012 another team from Atonement will travel to Mwanza with the goal to finish the eye clinic as well as to serve in various medical roles. Several members of the M4M team are Health Care Professionals and during the trip will be providing medical & eye exams, treatments and eye surgery for the people in that area of Tanzania.

$36,000.00 US is needed to to purchase the supplies to complete the Ahlrichs Eye Clinic, and $21,000 of that has been raised already through a Golf Benefit last fall and the "Spread Some Salt" Gala & Silent Auction this past March.

Your contributions toward the final $10,000 needed to complete the Eye Clinic are greatly apprieciated by the M4M teams, IHP-TZ and the people of Mwanza. Asante Sana!
