“Books are a very important way to knowledge and to

self-improvement… The provision of a National Library

Service in Tanzania means that … knowledge is made

available to all our literate citizens and through them

to people who have not yet learned to read.”

–Tanzania’s first president, Julius Nyerere, 1967

As babies, we chew and drool on our tiny board books.

As toddlers, we color and rip the pages of our beloved

nightly readers. By ages six or seven, we are reading and

have graduated into a new world of wonder and discovery.

Over the course of our lifetimes, there are few activities on which we will spend more

time than reading. We read to learn, work, escape, entertain, evolve, explore, and connect.

From our morning newspapers to our letters, e-mails, favorite paperback novels,

computers, and Kindles to our nightstand piles of literature and magazines; from

Shakespeare, Sartre, Shelley, and Salinger to social psychology, sports, science, and

everything in between, the written word is as essential to our lives as water, food, and

shelter.

Now imagine a world where there are few, if any, written words. There are no books,

no magazines, no newspapers, no Internet, and no textbooks. Imagine it. When

most of us are hyperlinked and “content-ed out” beyond reason, is this even possible?

Welcome to Ngongongare Village in the Arusha District of northern Tanzania.

Here, as it is in so many other impoverished outlying communities across the continent,

there are few, if any books. Schools are overwhelmed with too many students, too few

teachers (an average of one to every 45 students, according to the UNESCO EFA 2000

Assessment Tanzanian Country Report), and even fewer textbooks. A report by the

non-profit organization Textbooks for Tanzania states, “It is not uncommon for a class

of 40 to share a single textbook.” The Newton-Tanzania Collaborative that operates under

the Do Something umbrella estimates a textbook to student ratio of 1 to 80. Texts that do

exist are often decades old, filthy, and falling apart. To keep them from disintegrating

altogether, teachers often keep them under lock and key, pulling them out only to copy

their contents on blackboards for masses of children to memorize or, if lucky, to copy

down on scraps of paper.

What is Lent? As early as the

mid-fourth century, Christians have observed a time of preparation before the Easter celebration. The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days. The forty days of Lent recall the 40 day fast of Jesus in the wilderness after his baptism (Matthew 4:2, Luke 4:1-2) and Moses' 40 day fast on Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:28). It is a time of simplicity and preparation. The Principal themes of lent are: Penitence - Baptismal renewal - Prayer - fasting - service - Confession of sin rooted

in the promise of God that comes through the cross of Christ. The Color of the Season is Purple which suggests somberness and solemnity. In short, Lent is a season of penitence. Some Christians fast during Lent. This denial of bodily comforts can help encourage self-reflection about the need for Jesus’ forgiveness. Make the practice of observing Lent at First Lutheran a part of your preparation for the celebration of Easter and our ultimate gift!

Thank you for allowing the friends and family of my father, Steve Ramm to honor and celebrate his life. The

service you organized helped bring peace to our broken hearts. My father was a man of faith but regretted his

distance from the church. Thank you for your ministries and for granting closure.
