Christmas wishes from the foothills of the Pare Mountain, in the region of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa.

Dec. 25: It was in 2011 Christmas at Holy Spirit Church in California, Bay Area, USA - I was humming along the melodious choir ‘silent night…holy night’… with its glitter and gusto.

This year 2012 it is in Africa, in a remote village Muwanga (Kifaru Mission), Tanzania - Along with Fr Ronald Pinto and myself were trying to sing with the church choir, in Ki Swahili ‘silent night… holy night.

It’s a real experience truly keeping with the spirit of the carol.. It was ‘silent… quiet and holy…. Night’ the Lord is born unto us to dispel the darkness and to liberate his children. Dear friends , I sing to you, FELIZ NAVIDA... WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! From the foothills of the Pare Mountain,Same Diocese, Mwanga Parish, in the region of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa.
