That was OK, but there wasn't much else for me to do. There wasn't even a church near us. The Tanzanian bush made Nairobi, Kenya, seem cosmopolitan. From an American perspective, this combination breeds cynicism, hopelessness, and depravity, said DeLorenzo. It's very corrupting.
Vigilante justice is the norm.
When they return in July, the DeLorenzos will live in urban Nairobi, not the isolated Tanzanian town of Mwanza . Hope, he said, can be found even in the most forsaken places, such as Sosswa , a Tanzanian island in Lake Victoria marked by witchcraft, dis ease, malnutrition, prostitution, abused children, murder, and an AIDS epidemic. Nevertheless, missionaries built a church over an outhouse near a brothel. There was a time, he added, when street rape was common, but church intervention all but eliminated it. Today, sexual assault is altogether socially unacceptable, he claimed.
