Eyes of Tanzania

Many things have happened since the last time I posted. Recently, the need requests from my friends in Tanzania have been ones of food. With this in mind we have help out with two different food distributions outside the city of Arusha. Helping some people that really need this help.

I was also fortunate enough to help a friends project that just finished a few weeks ago. She build chicken coops, got chickens and roosters. Brought food and drinking water to outline villages and mosquito nets. I was able to happen in part, because of a donation from a colleague of mine. I am very thankful of his support.
He left me with these words “We are very blessed to be able to help in a small way”, and this we are. Thank you.

I am also very excited that the slide show is going on the road in the next month. I will speaking and presenting to some of my mothers friends later this month and I will also be talking at a local school in the the near future. It is great feeling having this continuing on.

Thanks – Eoin

I would like to thank the Rocky Neck Art colony for having me talk at their Night on the Neck series. My talk was at the Goetemann Gallery and I had a fantastic host, Judy, who made me feel right at home at her and husbands gallery. Judy and her husband Gordon do some beautiful work, thanks again for making your gallery available to us.

I also need to thank AV / cashier guy Ben. Who pulled out all the stops and documented the night and sold some books. Thanks for all you help.

Best – Eoin

I was speaking with a good friend and mentor today. He was commenting on how great things were looking and coming together for the project. Which I thanked him and commented that I could not have done it without his help.

A few weeks ago he helped me through a mental road block with the book and there are many things that he taught me over the last 20 years that were in every part of this book and photography. His help a few weeks ago and the seeds that he planted years ago helped make this project look the way that it does.

Interestingly, this idea is one that actually got me to Tanzania. When my daughter and I were talking about the donation that she had given to the Tanzania Hope Fund, her feeling was, “if we can change one child’s life, to become like Dr. Sam think of the impact we can make”. Dr. Sam is the head Doctor at Nkoaranga Hospital and by sending a child to school, we can in the future create another Doctor, Teacher, Guide and many other professions that will make Tanzania more self reliant.

We have a profound ability of impacting the future.

I am in Kenya,  I am a little closer and have a early morning tommorow. The traffic here is nuts.  So, I think it is time for me to retire. I had a long day. Bad eating day… London here I come!

Here is the kids practicing there photo skills. I believe the boy in this photo was able to take the camera home for the night. I can only imagine what that was like. His mom and dad seeing this camera.

I saw two orphanages yesterday, and I say one today. This is me and the kids at St Thaddeaus. We were singing and running around. The kids love seeing there photo on the back of the camera.
