When Father Joe
Healey came to Kilulu Parish in Shinyanga, Tanzania to conduct a workshop on
Small Christian Communities (SCCs) we wanted him to enjoy a shower after his
long trip. Father Paddy O’Rourke and I had spent the day changing the taps on
the shower and then we pumped water up to the tank on the roof. When the
visitor arrived we turned the new taps on but no water came yet. We could hear
water coming out of the overflow pipe on the roof. When we investigated we found
that a swarm had hijacked the tank and plugged the pipes completely with wax.
