Photos of Anna Gugu

Anna Gugu is a deaf teacher who works in a different part of Dar es Salaam - in the Twiga unit. (Twiga means giraffe). Her salary is paid by a very kind individual donor. We have recently received some photos of Anna, which we are very pleased about. Here she is.

Thanks also to Umivita, who liaise with Anna for us.

Some long overdue new photos

Astute observers may have noticed a distinct lack of updates recently. For shame! Well, it's feast today rather than famine, because I remembered that I had a lovely load of photos from Judith Roberts' trip to Tanzania earlier this year. Trip isn't really the right word, as she was a superstar and went for five months. 

Here goes:

Umivita's spanky new office, which Judith project managed - many thanks to Tanzania Breweries Limited for this: you are marvellous. Click here to find out more about TBL. 

And this shows some gorgeous artwork from our wonderful friends at the International School of Tanganyika (IST)  - thank you so much!  

The new welcome sign on our super new wall at the school  - if you look closely, you can see the sign language for each letter of the welcome message. 

Charlie Hadley, one of our most dedicated volunteers ever, working with Gloria. Gloria is a lovely little girl in the nursery class. Charlie used to work at Mary Hare School and we are so happy - and grateful! -  to have this partnership with Mary Hare. Click here to see more about Mary Hare. 

This is English Club, started by Guy and Judi - two more uber-volunteers. English Club is making a real difference to the quality of teaching and learning in the school, and is offered to pupils AND teachers. 

Teachers at English Club - with Judi just squeaking in on the right there. 

I know I end all these posts promising to do it more frequently, but I am actually going to put an alert in my diary now to do something every week. You can email us at tanzanear@gmail.com to complain if I don't!

As always - thank you to our marvellous donors and volunteers. Although it goes without saying that we couldn't do anything without you, I never see that as a reason not to actually say it.
