At the start of 2025, PADME donated 300 Swahili books to Tanzania, the only country to have adopted Swahili as its official language. We are delighted to learn that distribution has begun to local schools and universities.
Pictured here is brother Oscar at Liemba Lodge on Lake Tanganyikam. Oscar has a large network of friends and clients in the country, to whom he distributes the translated books. Here is his feedback, which we share with you: *I'm amazed to find these titles in Swahili, and I'm delighted to continue distributing them.
Sister Victoria will shortly be returning to Tanzania to continue distributing the books there. In her lodge, she welcomes people who leave with a book, sometimes in English: *They love the books in my library and we give them the books as gifts when they leave.
We salute their essential work in spreading the Teaching.
