For some time I have been contemplating taking some time off work to do some voluntary work to recharge my batteries. I could take leave and do what many do to go and travel.
However I have always found travel focussed on viewing sights rather boring compared to learning about the culture and people.
My last holiday to Vietnam with my daughter was a memorable experience where we saw what many tourists do not see behind the organised tours and facade of what purports for tourism shows. We saw how villagers lived in modern Vietnam and how their society is changing.
I retired from overseas relief and development in April 2022 and then spent six months in Tanzania working in Musoma as a volunteerassisting the Anglican bishop. I am assisting with capacity building across various areas of the diocese. In 2023 I led a tour of 18 Australians who visited and observed the work of the church in the Mara Region - three dioceses - Mara, Tarime and Rorya.
