Advocating for the Deaf: Rehema’s Testimony
CBM US, asked me to record this story at a disabilities forum at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C. The event took place in advance of the 2012 International AIDS Conference.

Rehema works with Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT), the largest indigenous provider of disability and rehabilitation services in that nation. CBM US partners with organizations like CCBRT at the local level. Every year, around 120,000 adults and children with disabilities and their caregivers achieve a better quality of life through CCBRT services.

My friend Cynthia Ebema narrates on behalf of Rehema.

Tanzania Jubilee

timfrakes — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 14:56:00 +0000

This video recounts the history of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. I produced it back in 1992 in the Swahili language with the help of Lutheran Missionary Howard Olsen.

The roots of organized Lutheranism in the nation now known as Tanzania had their origin in the late 19th century. The work began in 1887 in the capitol city of Dar es Salaam with the Bethel Mission Society and subsequently spread to Usambara in 1892 and then Bukoba in 1910. This video documents the growth of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania from its missionary beginings up to the 1960’s.

Tanzania Jubilee: Historia ya Kanisa la Kilutheri Tanzania
Video hii anakumbuka historia ya Kiinjili la Kilutheri Tanzania. Mimi zinazozalishwa ni nyuma katika 1992 katika lugha ya Kiswahili kwa msaada wa Kilutheri Missionary Howard Olsen.

Mizizi ya Lutheranism kupangwa katika taifa sasa inajulikana kama Tanzania ilikuwa na asili yao katika karne ya 19. Kazi ilianza mwaka 1887 katika mji mji mkuu wa Dar es Salaam na Chama Mission Betheli na hatimaye kuenea kwa Usambara katika 1892 na kisha Bukoba mwaka 1910. Video hii kinaeleza ukuaji wa Kanisa la Kiinjili la Kilutheri Tanzania kutoka beginings wake wa kimisionari hadi 1960.

Lake Flies, Bukoba Tanzania

timfrakes — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 20:22:00 +0000

Bukoba, Tanzania is located along the shores of Lake Victoria. In May you can witness the hatching of the Lake Flies… clouds of them. If you’ve ever seen a Mayfly hatch, you know what I mean. Lake Flies are about the size of a mosquito, but they don’t seem to bite. We stayed at a guesthouse along the shore. The flies swarm in clusters over every sidewalk. To get from one building to the next, you have to run the gauntlet.
