Green in Tanzania
Mark Green, the former Congressional Representative for the 8th district of Wisconsin (Green Bay) and former Gubernatorial candidate, has been named Ambassador to Tanzania. I knew he was bidding for the Kenya spot if he didn't get elected as Governor in the last race but he must have move to Tanzania since Kenya has such a stronghold on it. Although I don't much agree with the politics of this man he is a genuine politician who has worked very hard in his life. His wife and he actually did some teaching, I think through the Peace Corp, here in Kenya. My mother passed the word onto me and I thought you would enjoy the news. Congrats to him and his family. Tanzania is a beautiful country with even kinder people.
To all of those who are commenting, thank you. I sincerely appreciate your kind words and gestures. Unfortunately I am limited with the time I have free and thus I am unable to comment and read all of your blogs. I have read all of your comments and they are appreciated.
Since you are pretty much only getting my perspective I thought Id share some inspiring words from my mom that I got today that lifted my spirits. :) THANKS!
"It was so good to talk to you, just hearing your voice. I could hear
your frustration and wish I could help somehow. You want to do so much
over there in so little time, with so little resources. Just remember,
you are giving your love, heart and soul right now and touching lives.
You are making a difference in some of these kids futures. You will be
part of them, forever."
As always, peace and love.
