Tanzania contacts or visits?

Christian Engineers in Development in East Africa

I wonder whether other ODs are regular visitors or residents in East Africa, especially in Tanzania or Kenya.  I visited Tanzania in January 2019 for two weeks to follow up charity work I was involved in 10 years ago in the Iringa District in the southern highlands.  We work in partnership with the Anglican Church of Tanzania and we have received help from staff in Iringa who work with Emmanuel International Tanzania.  I imagine some ODs have probably visited Iringa, perhaps on their way to the Ruaha National Park game reserve or on their way from Zambia to Kenya.  There is now a good tarred road north from Iringa to Dodoma although you then have to face gravel north of Dodoma or head east to Dar es Salaam.
