Financial Advice


Dear support partners,

Perhaps you enjoy proverbs and sayings from other lands. Last spring I started collecting some of the African sayings common to our area in rural Tanzania.

Here is the first one I heard, which really kicked the whole idea off of forming a collection.

“Don’t eat beyond the length of your rope.”

The advice comes from a staked animal eating within a circle, limited by the length of its rope. The application is that our income is the length of our rope, and if we try to live beyond our means, it could strangle us.

Your Hands & Feet in Tanzania,

Gary & Joanne
