LET'S FINISH GIVING SOME TANZANIAN KIDS A BRIGHT FUTURE

 Now That We Have Most of the New Half-Finished School Building and Complex Itself Funded and a Few School Supplies Secured

LET'S FILL THESE NEW CLASSROOMS WITH DESKS AND SEATS

This is an example of the type of "student desk and seat units" we would like to have built for the five classrooms. Each unit seats two students. Costs presented in US dollars. 

One unit for two students = $200.00

Each classroom needs 23 units for 46 students = $4,600.00

THERE IS A TOTAL OF FIVE CLASSROOMS IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL

If you are interested in helping purchase one or more units, a whole classroom of units or units for the whole school, you can write a check to Father John Judie Ministries, Inc and send the check to Father Knott for deposit in that account (Father Knott's address is listed below).  Put "For Bishop Mhasi's School Desks"  in the blank memo line at the bottom left side of the check.

LOOKING GOOD

The New Cardinal Polycarp Pengo Primary School (backside) As of Last Week. Building Re-Started Back in January of 2026 After Our Flow of Generous Gifts. The Workers Are Making Great Progress Each Week. 

Front Entrance (other side) as of 2-11-2026

A Worker Digging the Pit For the Outdoor School Latrine. It Will Be Lined With Concrete Blocks and the Latrine Building Itself Will Go Overtop of The Pit. 

While the other construction continues, they drilled a well and hit water to fill their 10,000 liter school water tank.

Bishop Mhasi told me on 2-11-2026 that he had bought some cows so that the kids of the school will have milk and meat to serve at the school. 

In the Name of All of His Waiting School Kids, Bishop Filbert Mhasi Says "Thank You!"

To all who have helped bring this school project back to life, I too say "thank you!" To those who have been thinking about helping a little, but never got around to it, it's not too late. We will still accept gifts either small or large. I invite you to be part of making a difference in the world. In a world where we all sometimes feel "powerless to change anything," it is not an exaggeration to say that this school will change these families and their communities for the better for generations to come!

This school may be on the other side of the world, but let me remind you that as Catholics we all belong to a "one, holy, catholic and apostolic" Church. We are all one faith-family spread around the world and we are all called to be missionaries. They have made great sacrifices to someday have a school, so let us assist them in finishing it so that this school can open soon. We are almost there!

If you want to be part of this effort, write your tax deductible checks, small or large, to Father John Judie Ministries and send them to me at my address listed above for deposit in his account. 

Your gift would make a great St. Valentine's Day present to some kids who really need this new school!
