10 members from the Prince Albert Roman Catholic Diocese are taking part in a 6 1/2 week mission trip to Tanzania, Africa with the collaboration and partnership with the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. The Prince Albert Diocese Missionaries will help bring clean drinking water to a community in need in Tanzania by building a windmill-well. As we take part in this mission we ask that you pray for us and follow our journey.

Roxanne's message
Hello everyone! I can't seem to get on my blog,so I'm just using Vanessa's. We have been here nearly a week and it's amazing how much we have done already. The compound where we are staying is wonderful. I have realized how resourceful Bro is. He does not waste a thing! Everything people donate to him, he will find a use for it, I learned that he has helped build over 700 wells/windmills in this area. In 2008 Bro decided to buy the factory to build the windmills himself, rather than sending everything to Italy. Since 2010 he has built 25 windmills from this compound.He provides water for 1.5 million people every day. This morning we sorted more clothes which will be given to orphanages and schools in need. Every day is an adventure. Katelyne, Kayla and Celine have found babies at the orphanage they want to adopt and I found a 14year old boy named Francisco, an amazing athlete who Dale Regel would love to meet!So I'll close by saying this is the most extraordinary experience I ever imagined. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do this. It is bigger than anything I ever imagined.God bless and thanks for all your prayers, Roxanne Richards
