I recently traveled to Mtwara, Tanzania to visit our lay missionaries Earl Fong & Diane Prell who have been serving at Aquinas Secondary School for the past year. Earl & Diane are doing great work and are well respected and loved by students and staff.
The Form IV students were preparing for their exams, so Earl was helping them brush up on their math skills. Although the school has been without electricity for a few months, Earl still manages to teach his computer class - on a theoretical if not practical level.
Diane continues to teach English literature and serve as the school librarian. She arrives to school early and stays late so that the students have an opportunity to visit the library.
Sr. Maureen, the school principal, and Fr. Patrick, the parish priest, both commented that they value not only the good work that Earl & Diane are doing, but their witness to the faith. That, in itself, in invaluable.
