Tina in Tanzania

KARIBU - WELCOME

I am long back from my two incredible visits to Yamba Tanzania, it seems like a distant memory - teaching in the school, IT to the african management & health post staff, as well as teaching knitting to the fabulously keen & resourceful ladies of Yamba & Kwembalasi.

But sometimes when I see rural Africa on the tellie, or in a mag I can almost hear the beat of the drums, the ai-ai-ai calling and the chidren shouting 'Onga Teacher Tina' or 'Mama Tina' and it feels like I am right back there!

I think I left a little bit of me behind when I came back to the UK, and I think I brought a little bit of Africa home with me - in my heart!

This fabulous charity need continuous support - they are very small, but incredibly well organised. Please have a look at the site and see if you can help support us in any way - I now volunteer in the UK as the administrator.
