Early this December 2013 Hanga community had the pleasure to welcome eight students of Nursing School from Peramiho Hospital (about two hour car drive from Hanga abbey) for field experience at Hanga Health Center. The students have proved to be diligent and up-to-the-task kind of people. They have been giving conference to local people on hygiene and prevention of malaria, administering vaccine and other medications to patients. We wish them success in their nursing studies.
Below pictures of the Nursing students from Peramiho at work.

Hanga Religious Seminary Graduation 2013
A 36th graduation was held at Hanga Seminary on the 23rd of
November, 2013. A total of 42 young men graduated after four years of
formation in spirituality, morality and academics. The guest of honor at
the event was Mr. Aloyce Kisasembe, a retired Adult Education officer
of Dar es Salaam region. In his address to the graduating class he
stressed the importance of abiding to the Benedictine motto of "prayer
and work" as a source of progress in life. During the ceremony there was
quite an exotic performance of dances and songs. The best dance,
seemingly, was the traditional war dance of the Ngoni tribe commonly
called "ligihu".
We wish the graduates success in whatever way of lives each one of them will choose, and we hope and pray that a few of them will continue to become monks and priests.
