スワヒリ語の諺で一番のお気に入り。
Haraka haraka hainabaraka. ハラカ ハラカ ハイナバラカ
(急げ急げに祝福なし=そんなに急いだって良いことはない)
この諺の意味自体を語る前に、この絶妙のゴロがたまらない。
韻とアフリカの生活スタイルを見事に調和させていると思いませんか?
タンザニアの方だと思いますが、これを最初に言った人はかなりのセンスの持ち主だ。
日本に帰ってきてから、この諺とともにアフリカらしい時間観を懐かしく思います。
忙しない日本社会ですが、
たまにはのんびりと腰を据えてみるのも良いかもしれません。

I am Florence !!
I am Florence Thomo Mamba, a married Malawian woman with three children.
I am a Christian by faith belonging to a Pentecostal church called Malawi Assemblies of God.
I was brought up in a Christian family where my father used to be and is still a church elder.
With this background, I am married to a dedicated Christian who is usually a church elder
and a man who fears God.
We believe in the death and the second coming of Jesus Christ.
As such we believe that prayer is the Key to success.
So I am here in Japan because God accepted it to be like that i. e. He answered the prayer
that I should find a place to study for a masters’ Degree.
I, therefore, do not take this opportunity for granted.
For the days I have been here,
I have enjoyed mixing with friends, parties we have so far had and the learning.
I have also enjoyed Origami, Ikebana and tea ceremony in HIP.
Finally, I express my gratitude to Baba Sensei
for all the guidance he gives to all of us in Room 703.
M1 Florence
