GENERAL INFORMATION.
Along with the practical work there are opportunities to be involved with different forms of evangelism with the local churches. These include the showing of the Jesus film, which is taken on a regular basis to surrounding villages. Contacts with local schools are also available in Tabora, which provide a good opportunity to teach the young people. Swahili language is needed to be able to communicate with the local people in the Tabora Region. There are language schools in Tanzania to teach Swahili or private Tutors whom, will teach the relevant personal needs.
Some accommodation is already available on the farm in the village for those who would be involved with the farm work. Electricity there is supplied from a generator; the expense of running the generator will be shared amongst those using it. In Tabora town there is at present a house that is to be renovated to provide accommodation for two or more couples, here funds will be needed for electricity, water and use of phone facility. This house will be available for those involved in work in the town. The cost of living is reasonably low in Tanzania if a person is able to use mainly local food, which is rice based. Basic bread can be purchased in Tabora and there are many tropical fruits available at a very low cost.
There is an airstrip in Tabora where Air Tanzania fly into twice a week most of the year, weather permitting. This is the quickest way to travel to and from the capital city, Dar es Salaam. The other way of travelling is by road. A journey by road can take anything up to 3 days in the rainy season, but most of the time it can be done in less than 2 days. A vehicle should be available for a time with mileage allowance arrangements. Some medical help can be obtained in Tabora, but there are 2 mission run hospitals within a 2-hour radius, which are of quite a high standard.
