Tawawami Celebrates its One Year Anniversay


The Tawawami Education Project, a non-governmental organization, where I teach math and provide assistance in writing grant proposals, celebrated its one year anniversary at its location in Ilemela.  The celebration also recognized the efforts of the students who participated in this year's program.  Each student was awarded with a new writing tablet and pencil.  Additional gifts were added by parents of the students.  All enjoyed the music, the food prepared by parents and the project's board members, and the speeches from invited honored guests.

Honored guests included the following:
Counselor of the Ilemela District, Ilemela Street Chairman, The Director of Addilisha Organization, Ilemela Educational Officer, Coordinator of FAO Tanzania, Coordinator of EMEDO Mkuyuni MwanzaCoordinator of ACCORD Mwanza, Tanzania, and Ilemmela Street Chairman Bukengula

Board members pre-preparing the meat for the following day's celebration.
The celebration was haunted by torrential rain in the morning, yet by noon the sun pierced through the clouds and provided a great afternoon of rejoice.

Honored guests

Added awards included bars of soap and hair gel. (essentials)
 Richard Sulumet, coordinator and founder of the Tawawami Project, and myself.

I think the Serengeti did your soul some good... something just for YOU for a change...and the festivities looked wonderful...I sharpen Devon's pencils each night and I think how much the students there would treasure just the pencils and paper... please share especially during this time of giving what we can do for your and your school.
