Ouch. I just received this email from a handsome, tall, capable Tanzanian student, whom I had tried to help find employment. He has no parents, so cannot use the family connections that are the normal way to find a job in Tanzania. His integrity and maturity are really his only assets, he has no special talents or skills.
I´d thought I´d found an opportunity for him, with the help of the Mwanza Rotary Club, but it seems to have evaporated.
I guess this is just a reminder that we should give thanks for our own bountiful blessings, and remember the stuggles of those less fortunate, particularly at this beautiful, warm, and very commercial season of Christmas.
Sort of along the same line, I called my Tanzanian friend who lives near the Burundi border yesterday, to find that he did not receive my letter of instructions about the need to take new Eucalyptus samples. In addition, he is now tranferring to a different region of the country. So I guess that initiative has also come to naught.
