“Conserve Kiboriani-the Fountain of Life” Project has continued to grow steadily, in spite of a few setbacks. The planned activities in the six project villages were carried out as planned. The landmark was the joint workshop for Mpwapwa and Kongwa district leaders, led by their District Commissioners. The workshop was most richly blessed by the extremely enlightening and winsome presentations of Tony and Liz Rinaudo from World Vision Australia, and Assefa Tofu from World Vision East Africa Office. It was opened by Archbishop Jacob Chimeledya of the Anglican Church of Tanzania who is also Bishop of the Diocese of Mpwapwa.

The workshop occasion was used also to formally launch FMNR in Mpwapwa and Kongwa districts, with launch symbols of four living tree stumps pruned by Tony Rinaudo, Assefa Tofu, and the two District Commissioners. The training and the fellowship left an indelible mark in the minds and hearts of participants.
