American students visit and IMPRESSED by our activities in Tanzania

By Askwar Hilonga | Director

American students visiting Tanzania - 2018

This quarter we received 3 groups of American students from different Universities (about 100 students and their Professors) who visited our activities in Tanzania. Before going to the field, I made a PPT presentation at our office (shown in the photo below). I narrated the history of our organization (established since 2010) and our journey until 2018. All students were impressed and most of them wanted to go to the field and meet our beneficiaries. So we demonstrated what we do and allowed them to visit the beneficiary communities with Arusha region, Tanzania. Students were so excited to meet happy beneficiaries everywhere we work.

Some of the students promised to support our activities in different ways: 1. Online marketing, 2. Publicity, 3. Posting and supporting our activities on social media - Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. 4. Coming back for internship in Tanzania 5. Fundraising ........... as demonstrated by the email I just received from one of them:

"Dear ...................(me),

I have not given up on the idea to come to Tanzania! Unfortunately, it is very difficult to obtain funding via world famous scholarships due to rigid application deadlines and incredibly high competition. But, I HAVE A BETTER IDEA! I am going to do my personal fundraising!! I am graduating from Wellesley, and the area where the college is located is very wealthy. Many people in this area do a lot of good for different communities in need. I have met some affluent people in my time as a student and I will reach out to every family I know who could help me to host fundraising events! But I will need your advice: Can we please talk on Skype during one of the weekends? I want to go over logistics of a presentation that I have in mind: I want to make the most impactful presentation!! I am positive I can make it!!

Thank you,

............................... (her name)".
