Thursday in Buyuni

Today we drove to the school that the Sisters are building in a nearby town called Buyuni. Building this school has been a dream of the Sisters for a long time, and they hope to open the school in January. They have regional government approval and are waiting for the Tanzanian government to finalize their paperwork. 

The people in the town call often to register their children, and the town of Buyuni is growing up around the school. There are also many applications from teachers hoping to work there. People trust the school since it will be run by the Salvatorian Sisters. S. Mechthildis has worked tirelessly for 13 years to make this happen, and S. Elise will be the lead teacher when they open. It is very inspiring to see this dream close to coming true.
