Dear Friends,
A recurring comment we're hearing is that you would like to hear from us more often. We are working on ways to make our reports more regular while we are in Tanzania. It occured to us that many of you may not be aware that Village Schools International has a web site. At the site you can read archived letters from Steve Vinton and view pictures of the schools. From time to time, the school we serve is mentioned. The web site is:
http://www.villageschools.org/
You can receive current news from Steve by signing up on the web site or contacting him directly at:
steve.vinton@villageschools.org
Just ask to be put on his mail list. His letters give news about VSI's expansion and ministry. His letters will give you the big picture, whereas our letters focus on the school where we are located, Idigima Secondary School near Idiwili in the Mbeya Region in western Tanzania.
We will be traveling to Minnesota and western Iowa over the next couple of weeks, then back to the Coralville area for a few days before flying out of Chicago on September 6th. Until we leave, we would be happy to speak to anyone about the work God is doing. Please consider the needs of the students and staff at Idigima, as we are allowed to carry 300 pounds of checked luggage back with us. Attached is a revised Needs List.
Thank you for partnering with us in this adventure with God.
Gary and Joanne Grenell
