Still the same sweet, kind, gentle soul. Nothing has changed except the technology!
No birthday presents please she says…instead, please consider a donation to The School of St Jude set up and run by another phenomenal Australian girl – Gemma Rice*
Happy Birthday

* In 2002 a young lady, Gemma Rice (now Gemma Sisia), from a sheep farm in Australia, opened a small school in Northern Tanzania with the help of her family, friends and local Rotary Club. What started with only a handful of children and one teacher is now in 2009 a thriving school of almost 1200 children, 130 teachers and 200 staff. In January 2008 another free primary school with an initial enrollment of over 550 children opened. These schools really have the potential to influence the quality of Tanzania's future leaders.
