One of te amazing things in my job with Anglican Aid (www.anglicanaid.org.au) is the stories I get to read from our partners in Africa. Disability is difficult in a developed nation so imagine the difficulty of being disabled in aculture where disability is seen as a curse and witch doctors are consulted to assist families with the perceived shame of having a disabled child.
The following link is a short summary of the disability project supported by Anglican Aid ina really remote part of Tanzania called Karagwe. Google it to see how isolated. Committed Anglican Church of Tanzania staff work tirelessly to ensure every person can reach their full potential.

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.
