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.

African Aids Foundation update
Have spent the last few months reviewong documents and trying to get my head around the AAF funding in South Africa. Went to AGM on 22 November 2008 and was astounded to see the numbers there for the supporters function. They have over 600 people who are classified as supporters who raise or give money which explains how they have such a large income.
I also started trying to look at how previous support has been expended. To this end phoned South Africa Sunday night and had a long discussion with Monika from Philakahtle. I was a bit surprised after talking to her about what is needed. Things are not as they seem and this has sharpened my focus on what I should be doing in South Africa next year. Also spoke to Phum and she sounds just like she did the night we had her at our place for dinner.
It is 38 work days till my arrival in South Africa (but who is counting).
