Hey, good afternoon everybody and welcome to the Morrow for tomorrow's Studios on a Sunday faith and politics Day. We have a very very special guest joining us today from Moshi Tanzania. I wanna tell you first off that it's raining very hard there and when it rains hard in in in Tanzania that sometimes the electricity goes out, so we may lose our guest and we'll try to getting back on through other means of necessary as that starts happening looking forward to having. Conversation about the a fabulous project that I've been blessed to be part of some wonderful wonderful friends that I've been so lucky to meet in in in Tanzania about more about the project itself and we wanna talk about current events and how they intersect of from the United States all the way until Southeast Africa so looking forward to having that conversation before we bring on father Patrick, though, I'd like to send us over to Brent for a quick update. Hello. Thank you for tuning in on Sunday afternoon, just a quick rundown of this week. first of all we're so excited about our first international guest today and before I introduce the wonderful person, let me run down the week so tomorrow at 40 'clock, we're having Polk County Auditor Fitzgerald and then at 70 'clock a whole town Hall just to talk about medical cannabis and medical marijuana and legalizing marijuana. Tuesday, climate activists Cornelia Flores and then Tuesday at 70 'clock College affordability Other students around the state and then when days Earth Day folks and at 10 AM, we're actually hosting an Earth Day panel right here and at 630 Channing Dutton is having an Earth Day Zoom conference at Eddie will be a guest on we'll send info about that as well and then Friday, we're having an LGBTQ town Hall with former state senator in Polk County Supervisor Matt McCoy as well for Iowa, Safe Schools, Nate Montana and many more and just a quick headline for you before our our guest. New York Times is say a deal is near on aid for small businesses and hospitals so House Speaker Nancy Protein, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday they were nearing an agreement with the White House to break political log jam to provide more emergency aid for small businesses and hospitals. so the 340 - nine billion business emergency fund actually ran out of money already that happened last week and Republicans and Democrats have been negotiating over the weekends over the for plenty of with Pelosi said that. They're very close to agreement and Schumer said it might happen as soon as tonight. This new bill would include 300 billion to Replenish what's called the paycheck Protection Program, 50 billion for small business Administration's disaster Relief Fund 70 - five billion for hospitals and 20 - five billion for testing. Democrats wanted the plan to also include money for States and municipalities. Stephen Munchkin said that would be included in future relief packages so potential good news there from Washington. DC but with before anymore headline, let's get into our guest so all the way from Moshi Tanzania. We have father Patrick at Santa Robbie. He is part of Mochi Diocese in Tanzania. He works on the purified project will also hear about which is fantastic purified project was created to help her who are sick, poor and facing death situations due to unsafe drinking water and so they have permanent access to quality quality. While the water so without any further ado all the way from tens, here's Eddie and father Patrick Thanks. hi father. How are you today? I'm fine. How are you sir? awesome? Thank you so much. It's so good to have you today and one of the wonderful technologies for us to connect with somebody like you half way across the world right at the at the base. so welcome. Thank you my pleasure to for the first time to talk and do. Way so far, so you're welcome and and that is a that's that's a typical greeting. from our friends in Tanzania, somebody would introduce themselves to us and they would say hey, my name is Mary and you are welcome or or my name is Patrick and and and you are watching and and what that means of for his father and to the people that are watching here and I was that everybody is welcome you no matter who you are when you. Up whether be at a church or a school or a village or it's one of the medical facilities or the hospital there whenever we were that was a greeting that somebody would would give and it will tell us that we were welcomed and we will welcome regardless of what we brought with us regardless of the color of our skin or religion or gender or or background, whether we're rich or poor or black or White or we came from the urban Center. The rule Center didn't make a difference. it's a community where we always feel welcome and I gotta tell you father. That's that's a great gift that you have intensity because we don't always do that here in this country. Not everybody feels welcome all the time and some of our communities. It's one of the reasons why I'm involved in public service is to help us to be that same welcoming community a community that has a lot of wealth compared to where you're at but doesn't have the same heart and soul about how we treat. Our brothers and sisters so I so first of all I appreciate you being here with us today. I appreciate you're welcome and I'm looking forward to having a conversation today. My name is Patrick from and currently I'm working at an inclusive secondary school. that means we have children with special needs and problems, but they studied together in the same class the same teacher relatively modified environment to accommodate those different cleaning needs, but at the same time I'm working as a woman. Jackie Purified project and I'm very happy to work with Eddie and the rest of the team to bring purified water to children in schools and it may be in the future, according to our plan the hospitals and other public blesses make sure that everyone gets safe water to drink now. that's so important. Father first of all when you and I first got together a few years ago now when Senator Bonanno here in in Des Moines Diocese attached me to kinda lead from this side and a wonderful person there archbishop who's now an archbishop at the time was the bishop Isaac Kamani Masala, but now the arch bishop of Russia, which covers both motion and Russia, task you with the same leadership role and when you and I've had this great opportunity to build this friendship over the last seven. Years is we've we've installed these systems in the communities there and in the countryside surrounding the communities there can you tell us a little bit. Why why these are needed? What's why? Why is it there clean drinking water readily available? The fifth challenge is our systems are not yet 12 manage from the source to the consumer. so we take water from different sources. We have water from the springs of us from the ball of us from Rivas of Farm. And this one is piped in the public system now the big challenges with the collection of the water transportation of the water until it reaches to the consumer. Some of it is treated at the source. system साहब हो या P broken some and some of they don't have cleaning process at point from the start to the consumer in that sense people think that take take it clean and safe water from a spring at if you take it deliberate just tell you feed for Conception That's what we have been doing before we install the system we test the water and in all the places we tested the water and find a lot of bacteria infection in some places we find some heavy metals in the water and where we are recommended not to use a mechanism to take our doors and say bacterias or the breeze or had metals to make the water. safe for the children in the school so the big problem is about the source where the water comes for and also the process of cleaning the water in the public system is not that much complete make sure that a person in the household oil today in a school get clean and safe water to drink that's really important teaching other workers at schools they are helping the students can learn um they have this basic human right of of clean drinking water ah as you know we talked about I mean I'm running for public office in new life have conversations about politics little bit as well um but I am trying to get a natural water stand here just in this country um to make sure we have clean drinking water something we take for granted um ah because We do have a better infrastructure here father but we do have a lot of holes where what we've dropped the ball and it's mostly because of a lack of investment in poor communities in this country whereas in in a country like Tanzania, I mean the whole country for had has issues for the most part, because of a lack of an overall infrastructure that's going on there and I think it's incumbent upon the United States the World Health Organization, the the United Nations and others to be thinking about. Thinking diplomatic efforts to help invest in countries like Tanzania, Others in Africa, others in Asia, others in in Central and South America and other parts of the world where we're safe, drinking water is not readily available. That's one of things I wanna help lead on. I'm looking forward to maybe having a chance to win in public office that to work with you and and others in the communities of Tanzania and around Africa to make sure that everybody has clean drinking water cuz it is a human right. And again when we take for granted here and off a lot can you can you talk a little bit? I appreciate that I appreciate that and I will pray for that that you you win and help us in this in this needing our country. Thank you very much. I need your prayers. brother. I need your prayers. Have you seen the purified project impact the the schools and the children? What what have you seen from from that? They're big, in fact because at the beginning when we began this project. Every discomfortable you might have learned that because before you introduce their the filters, there are several attempts in the school to make the water clean people came with solar heaters to boil the water they simply pull the water and distribute to the student, but the water had more than bacterias to boil. So now the breeze in the water you had soy in the water when you boil the water. okay it is hot may be you kill some of the insects but you still see some particles we put water into a glass you save some particle and again the world hours a bit warm of hot in the studio like the water so they kept on using the regular thirty days danger but there is that what are then the vote of those systems which we saw there with solar panels some came with Kinesio, which we are not functioning and then again the other school they tried to boil the water in the kitchen using a lot of firewood to boil water for save 600 students every day they need several liters parts student so need a lot of firewood, a lot of care of course to build the water otherwise make it. so all those challenges met some of their headmaster and head mistress to be a bit scared to go when we introduced the idea of. Purified appointed but we when we introduce it into the first four schools and some school land the impact in the drop of the path of sickness stomach problems related to water cleanliness most of them try to call and say, Would you also put for us the system here because we have this challenge? I remember I went to one school. the day when we went to speak we find it must missing and we ask you I they told us yesterday they had what a problem in the school in the students complain that the world I was not clean the headmaster insistent devotees clean they told him okay if it is clean because first to drink it so to give the student and motivation he took over the internet and he all see in a small was not in the school or some home thank you amazing so problem was better big in the school that he conducted we had to be admitted to be treated then come back to school today when we went to fix them if you does there so the impact has been very big in the schools where we have decisions the number of cheating staying dormitories because of stomach problem then because of the water related problems has dropped to significantly also they spend a lot before they spent a lot of manage boiling the water for medicine but now the figures I have dropped because they have filters where they Spend anything just putting water in a state in the tank, allowing it to run through the filters and student, get clean and self water only to regular flashing the system making to clean they don't invest anything they don't pay anything in the system is that they get more benefit from the filter, so it has impacted a lot in the lives of the students in the schools. also in the health and as you mentioned is but on their right to get clean and safe what no no doubt about it you know the engineering for this project came out of the state of help put together that the main falls in the mechanism for um for the ah the distribution of the clean water we we shape or carried over with us will make over to ten umm We can install install these water systems the same time we're employing people over there. I got a great engineering crew led by John Benedict, who does a great job. we have you know a plumber and electrician and masons and and other folks that are doing really good work with the installation of the systems. Sure. Hey father hold on just one second cuz we're gonna show a little video that that we put together if you remember the last time I was there. We brought some folks over to take some pictures so we can come back and kinda share with others that they're in the project and in the in the US about this project so take a look. My name is Eddie Marrow. I joined this project about a year or so into it after hearing from a senior about how he started this great project from his climb up and down Mount Kilimanjaro. I knew I wanted to come out one day and see what it was all about how I could help and I eventually did that and fell in love with this country the people in the project and they found that I could help out because of some skills of the good Lord gave me to organize people to move people to solve problems and early on the problems where they had this great idea and a project. They were capable of moving fast enough, so I started to connect pieces here in Tanzania and back in the United States and other places as well and we started a ramp up production. What could have been many years time getting systems in we've been able to do in about two years 40 systems in just over two years now and growing and serving lots of kids in schools. It's just a short video about the projects. we're putting together. There's a lot more information out there. you might be seeing some of the pictures that are being popped up on the screen as well for those who are viewing what we're going on. I know we're hoping to come back over father in July. we're hoping that the world is safe for us to all travel again. I got time. I'm so excited to take to get back over and visit with you and the others that are over there and we continue to try to grow out the project and meet the challenges of providing clean drinking water for people. The world so so very interesting that you know one of the things that's really fascinating about you is is is we develop this friendship is is you're more than just a parish priest. you're leading the school and go ahead work but your your education is is steeped in science. in fact, I've learned an awful lot from you as we've been doing these systems cuz I I mostly just to me in a Journal type person. I kinda just help people move around but you and in early Harper here and others have been on the forefront of. Science side of this right and how we make sure that these systems are working and and science are working because science is very important in all this isn't it. Yeah. It's good and and how how we make sure that that we're talking about all the chemicals that were taken out and what we might be missing in the testing that we're doing and you know one of the things I've noticed glaring Lee our trips over there is the impact of climate change and the environment in the region over. Can you talk a little bit about what you're experiencing when it comes to climate change in the environment around the community. Yeah, climate change is real. Some of things is something operate something imaginary. I'm thinking pictures, but it's real and you ask anyone here. They will tell you it's something they can feel something they can see the difference. You know if you compare just two or three years behind and now, you can see many things that shows that the climate is not the same we. for example when I was growing IT could know I would know which months to prepare a farm which means to start plating the seats and probably when we expect to have it's not the same again you have to wear because we don't have that good methods intervention so we really looking at the sky how is the sky today is about rain I don't know if it's not going to rain for two or three weeks, just try and era you plant. They grew out a dry. it comes again back again. sorry so the weather is not match predictable now days secondly sorry we have we have some extreme in the weather the temperature sometimes have very high Compared to what we consider normal here or the rainfall compete very heavy compared to what we used to it may rain for a short time, but very heavy torrential and some flats. And also some vegetation which you are there commonly we we saw them some medications. They have disappeared some types of grasses and trees have imaged different ones and some of them they are very hostile to the crop that we plant. We have some weeks, which are very resistant even to when the drugs we use to kill the helping in the farms. Some of them are very resistant. We have some new time. Of insects. Affecting the crops, which are not dead in the beginning, but now they're they're responding very resilient to even in the to spray them. So that says that that a lot of changes which have made some of the insects to develop the resilience to what we used to as normal the crops, which. now you cannot grow them and harvest the same you need to use a lot of drugs to spray and all so in my view I see lot of changes which made me to believe that climate change is not the same there is a lot of changes in the private we cannot predict as we use we cannot leave in the same knowledge we we had when I was growing up I know safe for from It's the time to plant now it depends on when they're in began. If it begins in your worry, you have to do it in general. you don't wait for much because we're for much is gone. last year for example you had a lot of rain from August all the way to January this year which is not no and when people did not to grow anything because that was not the normal time or even for here but we had a lot of right that time so departments are not the same as we used to see them and when he is we have done that very well across the world and I am apologizing ah father causes countries is drop the ball from its leadership On this issue and we need to we need to is is is a world leader that we should be we need to get reengaged in this issue. We need to help draw down emissions. we need to be working with farmers across the state across this country across the world on regenerative agriculture on a carbon sequestration into our soil on helping to draw down emissions so that we can have a healthier environment for all of us across this world and for. to come, especially those kids that were spending so much time working on providing clean drinking water for that that's one of the things that that that drives me into this issue is to make sure we're providing for our future, not just worrying about today and some of the some of the the more wealthy countries are the ones that are dropping the ball on this issue and we need the right kind of leadership there. you know, there's another science this company. there's another go ahead. The climate issue needs no need, not one person say one country or some individual acting alone. This is is a global issue because one carrier can be good and the other area destroying the climate effects the whole world. it needs a collective effort from the United States from Tanzania from anywhere in Africa. South America Europe to get together to make sure that we make the world a better place to live right we have another crisis talk about right now that's a scares me about your country in that's the year ah the noble virus um and eighteen um and I like to shift gears and talk about that I remember vividly umm ah intense show pictures ah in the villages Close people had to interact to each other here in our in our country in the state. we have a lot of people working and actually some of the poor people in our state that are working shoulder shoulder even today in in a food processing plants meat packing plants pork producing plants or poultry plants. something you don't have a lot of because I saw the the process you go on right in the streets of of your villages and and saw. Something went right from the farm in the process right to our table. it's fascinating. you know what you guys are doing, but I'm very worried. I'm worried about our own country and countries around the world, but especially worried about what's going on potentially in Tanzania. Can you talk a little bit about what's going on so far relative to cover there? Thank you for that. as the disease is here and it is a bit scary. I say a bit because we are trying to be cautious to follow their instructions as we are told by medical professionals on keeping their distance wishing hand using mask using sanitary. And all those precautions. that's why I say we are. I believe we are safe and we will try to keep that to make sure that we are safe but honestly speaking the disease has touched one of the areas where there's. business on our culture. It is a bit difficult and sensitive to control, you said. People interactive very closely you. everyone want to great here handshake that is in the market you can not avoid contact thousands of them into public transport well that is how we live close connected you meet a person you know huge and something like that that is known that's how will you feel but since the disease has come we are really have to change something that has been our life that is what we leave that's what we believe when I was young you going to the village you get to a grand power your without giving a second hand they say this poem is misbehaving that now days they are expected because of corner so people are changing very fast I went to days of they understand they understand the need to they need to respond quickly and change the way we used to do things It is going to take time, but I hope many will not be heard. people are well the sickness or the disease. we have washing hands before we go into any building public buildings. We have a bucket of water outside the washing their hands with running water and soap. Today we received instructions also during Mass, For example, we we don't receive the community in the mouth in the town we received by hand and also distancing has been emphasized and after each Mass sorry after each month, we have people passing through the news and spray. to disinfect that she has where people that's for the next month we are trying we are trying to we can do but I like it somewhere before that your resources are really limited We cannot create everywhere everything I hope you went to to manage it. Well, I'm encouraged I'm encouraged religiously to think about a gathering of churches right now. We're we're trying not to do much of that pray from home pray on computers and connect that way something like what you and I are doing here. It's not always easy and Tanzania because not everybody has a computer or phone so for us to do this and not easy for me because I don't even access to the Internet, Maybe through the radio, we have a very radio here. Maria Listen from the radio but okay, that's what is true is true the way you say that we have maybe to think praying from her but the people going to the market is the same. Yeah the people going say to the night clubs the baths for the restaurants business as usual in town. So yes, we may close the churches and the mosques. but still be doing the same being industries what I think is important in this type of environment is to make sure that we have the social distance from one person to another where were they mask wash your hands and try to be a squash possible not to travel when you don't need to even going somewhere say to greet somebody if it is not sorry at least for now to suspend that leaders have leaders and all the communities specially remember ah the bars and the restaurants and ah some great places there ah they can be crowded and right now across this country closed and we wait to long father to do that umm this virus is just getting to your country I know Islam a little bit so far in a small level but for for all the the areas where nothing is essential, we don't have to be there so in the restaurants in the bars places where people should stay distance for a while. That's not easy. you know I talked about this because Moshe is a big tourist attraction. isn't it? Yes it is because I'm out killing draw a lot of people would come in to the community and and most stay in hotels and shop and the villages and they go climb. yeah, but I mean that is all closed closed closed down North tourists. three weeks ago. I was in town for school works, and I passed by one Street where we have a seven tourists company and said, I was hearing people complaining and I just went by and they were complaining because they were told fifties on because this is now is the high season. There will be no motoring. now safaris now what you have to them was contained have four kids school I have a wife to that is the situation not to that's the communities for economic point but I'm worried about the health standpoint if you seen proudly on the news what's been going on early and Spain and and even in in the United States and place like New York ah what kind of What kind of move structure do you have there in Tanzania to to treat potentially hundreds or thousands of people if that happens? Pretty, it's like what we have seen in in Italian in the US in China, I don't think it will be will be able to cope with that. We don't have those specialized machine for assistant person to breathe. we may have a number of beds in the hospitals or some hostels, which taken as a Center for person with covered 19. But. the technologies I don't think it will can really marriage if it hit like what I have seen in Italy and Europe United States at all things ventilators I don't think even to buy the the special closes with them many copies is very expensive for country like we Really, very difficult to imagine if it come to full scale here is going to be very frightened for me right and that's why I'm I'm I'm advising as strong as I can employ it on communities in countries like Tanzania to really go over and beyond the the social isolation and physical distancing require because you don't have that the the the tools and resources and the infrastructure I'm very frightened. About potentially what can happen for some reason God had this start in China. it hasn't really taken full hold in Africa yet, but there there's just too many countries in Africa that aren't prepared and the destruction could be really bad and I'm very very concerned about that. What what can happen? We'll try to advise all he does and see what we can get from that. I'll keep doing it two schools are particular that a very narrow one is yours ah and the other one is ah ah system very bad addictive saying franchises are school for that for table and disabled ah talk about is really quick I think you you you you have unique school that's your students available to go home um but but This has been the case with Saint Francis and sister Mary still has hundreds of students on her campus right. unique supremacy school is called Francis School for the disabled, but it's more than school this world a home for children is your hope for many for many children. It began very. And a tree hopefully system benedicto the tree where she sat with the first student that was a blast have dining place has everything under 13 and two rooms. That's where she stayed with about 10 kids at the beginning and then they kept on increasing it is an inclusive primary school. They have prevalent but many children with. specially with him physically challenges the death of the blind all studying together in December school in the same classes is a very wonderful school you have lovely children they love visitors they really try study very hard and they have been performing very well they district from number one two four every year in their Children examination every end of probably very well in the end, so it's a very good school giving education giving a chance to achieve them who in the past. I thought of the condo nothing. but now they proved that they can do something. That's why they perform very well in the exams and from there now they go to secondary school. the school like where I am now symptomatically so so and inclusive secondary school here we have. Children Page 14 and above. they start the regular subjects like all aligned the secondary school with reckless students or students with special needs. We have them. We have blind. We have some with physical challenges all of them. they start here, so we believe that they can also learn and excel and become something some their best. who was can depend on don't need only to the depending on some people begging for their pride everyday they can also studied and do something themselves in life It's a phenomenal school and I've had and sisters taking me around the campus number times show me the the initial building that's now kind of a storage building for them, but the initial building was very small about the site of a this room. I'm in right now and and and you're right. They did everything in that building and then through the generosity of people around the world has been able to add on buildings at on cafeterias ad on dormitories at our classrooms and Has put together a remarkable school and has its own farming area to to grow some of its own produce. it's connected to it's connected to a shops a program for people to go and learn how to make things how to build how to so how to cook how to build furniture and to sell meds desk so those trades are so important to teach life skills to to the. of the community, so it's it's a phenomenal school and you're doing the same by taking it to the next level. I will tell everybody that's watching today if you go to the Peter Fry project and and on our website they're posted on on the screen or not and there's a donate button. If you wanna donate to the project, there's there's places you can donate for water and there's I guess to try the bottom of screen there and and those places you can donate for education. So if you want to tell us how if you wanna donate some money. To the to the project and tell us how you want that money spent what he wants to do in our water projects and there's another one for education and there's one for others as well. we tried some economic development too. It's it's it's phenomenal project would love to get people self, but they're looking to see how they can help us with what's going on there. Father how your parents. You're fine, you're doing well. we keep praying for you everyday. We have to our prayers for the world, especially places where we have been hit by Corona. They keep all of you in my prayers. Some of you have been writing to me that we miss March. We miss the Eucharist, but I tell them you are with Jesus because he's everywhere with you even when you're suffering when you think you are physically distant from him, he is only. Everywhere is present in your own, the blessed where you are he's either. His first Sunday of Easter, right we're we're looking for that that strength and encouragement, and that hope somebody that that's with us. Our faith is so important. I had a great chance to talk in these events during Holy Week about how important Holy Thursday was for example and and and and and how we're all called to service and doing work in our neighborhoods and our communities and our state around the country around the world. we're all called to do that. I'm running for office cuz it's a form of public service. We can do some public servants again. you know we talked about the passion and death on Good Friday. We talked about the the hope and resurrection and the love of Easter Sunday as well and that Easter didn't necessarily end that we're not like I said in the first Sunday of Easter. what did you talk about today in your sermon and it was short right go better shot. 15 minutes That's a short father shot. so ever running course great was very short because as I told you area we have destruction as part of the control of crowding we make things better price so we had a very brief for meeting on divine mercy and the eastern as one of the gift of divine massing Because by mercy that we are saved from sin, we did not have the right to be a service, God's mercy and we have to give so it was very brief like that. And God give us these gifts to to to use within our communities to help others those are probably yeah. so I've always in where is his mercy as a gift and you have to give it as a gift to others. When we give our lives, we give our postulate in in the church or even in the politics when you give yourself to the people, they're being an act of mercy to others because you could just sit up. Moment Enjoy your things do your things but giving our time for others For me, I considered an act of mercy to others. We're not talking about that, especially getting in parts of the world where we have a lot of wealth father we don't show enough mercy sometimes to people that are struggling with within this country and in other countries were folks that have done really well don't seem to wanna help others and actually put blame on others. we we question and and denigrate the poor summer deserving and some undeserving and but but all of them need our help cuz. With at least the faith that I I believe in it causes to help everybody not for us to judge not for us to pick who should get help We shouldn't get help for us to have policies in place and outreach in place or helping everybody you know, regardless of how they've landed where they are, You know Eddie I believe that maybe it's about them. They do that because they don't know you have been in Africa opinion you have been food. training you went through some homes you know there is life is not like a person coming here for it to a just dropping by Russia goal for Safari ka to the national parks Sleeping one of the original tells or restaurant and then go back to Europe and Africa if you step down from the cars and go a bit insight, you see the real life and when a person tells you that they need, you'll see really need you talk about water is very difficult for person saved from your country to understand how poverty can contribute to. what a related sickness is in your hair is very difficult for present to understand but when you step down from the car and work and see the systems themselves you really understand you have been there so is easy to understand and I don't blame them for what I say oh what a perceive I believe this because they don't know right about father Sometimes when we do talk about this here people raised a question about why are we doing more just with our own country When we wanna help solve the water issues we have in our country. We have some why are we doing more to help the poor in our country? cuz we have too many in a country that with the wealth that we have and and and I hear those questions. I think we have enough wealth across this world. we have enough leadership across the. World We have enough mercy across this world for us to help people within this country within European countries, another a wealthier countries but also reach out into countries like Tanzania and others that have been struggling for so long. So I think there's enough mercy and wealth to go around. we gotta have the willpower to wanna go out and make sure that we're we're putting policies in place to reach all of God's creation, which is this entire Earth. This trunk Cuz I learned that for you listening to you all the time these great conversations we have driving through the the roads of emotion Russia and they're not very good roads by the way so they're they're very bumpy Rain. No very good roads. The rain we have going on right now and you got a nice little vehicle to get you around. Yeah. If you ask a person from our country, they'll tell you this part of the country. Coleman is one of the areas with good products really the ones you saw if you go to other parts of the country, maybe surprised better. But of course, they're not that good compared to what to have. but. let me thank God that we have we can access our school as you see the road here is not that good you know it very well in their like this if you don't have a formal drive I cannot go out here wish you for example for today if you don't have a powerful for will driver you can never go that's right I have something that taken can write and go out okay so we need school contact with the people from many changes into this बारिश girls school into made Assistant schools as we say it water project you have also I think you remember so that's life of people at hospital once with gifts from has been in this area and you see the challenge I believe it is easy for person to see the need to help the poor here I don't say that we don't need to help the point the states yes may be some people who will be moving to help in the stage but also we have to look at the parts of the world African included included Really, they do they don't need your help in the water and other services lots we can do and I would I think that would build that investment around the world would build a a more healthy prosperous world and a more peaceful world in areas where violence develops very important, you know we're talking about the roads. I gotta tell you there's an election here this past November, where the big the big the big conversation was about potholes. Of our streets and if people would ever drive on the roads of of motion Russia off the main highway, they don't know what potholes really are so we're very spoiled here even with my daughter. If you if you call this a highway in the States, maybe they'll laugh at you. You don't have a highway Web, just God crossing one way, but the other like that I don't think so yeah, no no you're absolutely right but a beautiful country father. It's a beautiful country, beautiful people I look in the eyes of the students and I see the the same hope and dreams that I see when I see students here in Iowa, I see students and other parts of this country and As you've seen some of the pictures that have been we've been showing today, lots of smiles students, they get a chance to go to to to school and they're learning and they're learning about a science and math and and reading and jog ready and history. they're learning English as a primary language because that's very important but they're also keeping up with their same cultural mechanisms and histories as well cuz they're so important to them and I'm look. So forward to continue this relationship cuz it's it's very important for me I want to let you know that I'm so grateful for our friendship. I wanna thank you for this conversation. I know I'm keeping quite a while cuz it's almost 11 o 'clock there now and in Tanzania so it's great to see you live in our livestream so two things if you have any questions for me, my father before we let you go not the question first of all to say. thank you for giving me this chance my first time I was born to talk preparation that far away so efficiently problem have seen problem with the internet with the connections my first experience It is teaching me slowly how far we are in technology. Some some days you'll go is thinking about how can you help my students who are at home? They were here we had to break or because of Corona, but we cannot access them to give them a class outside whether at home because we don't have a technology like this one had we have these kind of technology we could go on with the classes and they will take the exams and everything so I'm still learning we are still verify away from. To be in our time. maybe a small question to you. do you think that this problem say this Quran is going to end soon in your view I think until we can do a really good job of testing across this world and something we should be doing right now in internationally to the World Health Organization to getting tests to places, I'm still haven't fired up yet and again in communities like yours but we need a we need a a a a world effort to get massive testing across this world and then and then contact Tracy. As well, while there isn't a lot of technology in Tanzania, what I have noticed is that just about everybody has a cellphone and connects by a cellphone so to be able to communicate by that cellphone to do contract taste tracing because of your good wireless infrastructure, one that one of the few infrastructure that are important. is there and and and and then and then we need to play the the the the waiting game that we're waiting for a vaccine. We're waiting to figure out how do we really treat this? cuz I think we're starting to sense it maybe ventilators isn't the best way. We need to do other things to make sure that our lungs are staying healthy, especially for people to get a deep into their lungs and I'm hoping doctors across the world or having conversations about what has been working. what hasn't been working. we start to get more of that data science person to see how that data is starting to really come so we can do a better job with the treatment. in the meantime we all have to do our our role and that's to say separate from people we will get through this father how long I'm not sure I I think I can well into this year and well into next and we're gonna have to. Sure that we are taken a day at a time and having a good strategy not only for in our home communities, but in all of our communities, communities around the world very very important father before I let you go can I can I ask you really quick to say a quick prayer for us both in Swahili and then maybe in English. Okay. Should I begin an English once lighting? It's up to you. You're in charge. Thank you. They don't want to follow the Sun and the Holy Spirit.
