Hey

How are you, how about your parents, they okay? If they are okay!
Just proceed to communicating with God. Here at Madibira we're okay,

The aim of this message is only to greeting you. I miss you Mr.
Anthony for a long time. Oh! Mr Anthony Padal to come again at
Tanzania. The Tanzania is remembering you too much. I just remember
you and no body who can stop me ro remember you. Why? Because you

Music in Tanzania, Africa


One of the things that I will never forget about my students in Africa was their beautiful music and singing. This was during a chapel session. There were no song leaders. It was just a time for someone to just start a song. The rest just follows along. It's amazing to hear because they just sing in harmony I've also jammed with my students and I have found that to be encouraging for many of them... Music does speak to the soul...I'm just thankful I can use that gift to encourage my students all over the world.

Lunch Break Jam session with my students- South Korea



I discovered that one of my students, Ki Ung played the guitar. I welcomed him to play during class and today he brought his own guitar...Students were so eager to hear a song so we played together and the students listened. I'm so glad that the students ar e starting to feel comfortable around me. I want them to realize that I truly care about them. Despite my flaws in teaching. I hope they understand that I'm still learning and trying my best to teach effectively...
