It has been three months since my last post. A lot has happened. We have decided to downsize and late in 2012 bought an apartment in Wollongong planning for the future when we are not working. We have since sold our home and are in temporary accommodation for some weeks awaiting the finalisation of the apartment.
I also changed jobs. Having wanted to get into the aid and development sector full time I was fortunate to obtain a job with Anglican Aid http://anglicanaid.org.au/ which is the overseas aid agency of the Sydney Anglican Diocese. Apart from managing the office I have responsibility for the African projects we support in about 10 African countries.
Life is somewhat unsettled as I settle into a new role and we await our apartment being certified as ready for occupancyAnglican Aid
Our house which we left after 10 years.
I retired from Anglican Aid, the Sydney Anglican Diocese's overseas relief and development arm in April 2022 and then spent six months in Tanzania working in the Diocese of Musoma at the invitation of the bishop. I am essentially assisting with capacity building across various areas of the diocese.. In 2023 I led a tourof 18 Australians who visited and observed the work of the church in the Mara Region - three dioceses - Mara, Tarime and Rorya.
