Pauline
(née Grist) trained as a speech
therapist in Leicester. Soon after
qualifying, she worked in a short term
post in Tanzania. She later returned to
Tanzania with the Christian mission
agency Crosslinks. There she works in Dar
es Salaam as a speech therapist in a
school for disadvantaged children . Her
role includes sharing her speech therapy
skills with the other staff.
In
2000 she married Charles Ndigirwa who
works with the Salvation Army. Their first
baby, Grace, was born in 2002. St Paul's
is one of their supporting churches.
Shortly before they
returned to Dar es Salaam, they visited a
morning service at St Paul's and
explained their work . They then shared
in a communal lunch with the
congregation. It was an opportunity to
get to know Pauline and Charles
informally, and learn more of their work,
and what life is like in Tanzania.
Pauline also took a
"Question and Answer" session
For
many it was a chance to relieve Pauline
of Grace, and have a cuddle themselves -
