We finally retired the old tattered flag with a new national flag. Too bad there wasn't a breeze to unfurl it . . . It is against the law in Tanzania to own a national flag. You have to be a public organization with approved documentation to buy and fly it. When we share how flag waving is a common show of patriotism in the U.S. they say, "There are other ways to show that you love your country." So there you have it.
God bless you all, and God bless America,
Gary and Joanne
We are Christian missionaries serving the Almighty Lord as teachers at Idigima Secondary School near the village of Idiwili, in the region of Mbeya in Tanzania, Africa. The school was built by the people of several nearby villages and is run by Village Schools Tanzania. The mission is simply to share the Gospel through education.
