Showering our donors with thanks at the start of this our second quarter of 2015 I want to recall the events of the previous quarter by reproducing a letter read out by the students of Lyamungo Sinde Primary School at the opening of their new toilets: To Ndugu Mgeni Rasmi and Auntie Martha Moshi Dear […]
Just to finish off a very busy first quarter, I have completed my art classes, conducted amongst a very rewarding bunch of kids. As I’ve said earlier, there is no real art teaching as we know it. Yes, there is art in the curriculum but it is paid scant attention. A set of paints, paper […]
In this the 1st quarter of 2015 in Tanzania we have been busier than ever. As Operations Manager I began with an evaluation and recommendation from all 3 primary schools of our support partnership.

The impact of ABCD: Art Building Children’s Dreams (UK) in Lyamungo Sinde village continues to grow as we move into the second semester of the school year. And for this we have Martha Austin, our erstwhile volunteer teacher from Australia to thank! As I suggested in my last post Martha is our first volunteer. Her […]
