Visitors at Hanga Abbey June & July

 Early July the abbey was blessed to have visitors from the Benedictine community of Waegwan, South Korea belonging to our Saint Ottilien Congregation. In the convoy were Fr. Clemens, Br. Wolfgang and Br. Christopher. They were enroute to Ndanda abbey for a longer stay. We said to them welcome to Tanzania.

Hanga Health Center Continues to Shine

Thanks to Frater Lucius Matembo, OSB, the head of Hanga Health Center, for his vision to improve services at the Center. The Center have had many improvements which attract many people even outside the villages around Hanga Abbey which have been the primary target.

The major increased services at Hanga Health Center include the surgery unit, an x-ray machine, a laboratory with modern machines, and the addition of two women wards.

Recently a female ward has been completed and now it is being furnished with indoor furniture. Also in preparation, a ground is being cleared to erect a building that will be serving outpatients.
