As some of you may be aware, next
year I will be travelling back to Tanzania to teach at a newly established primary
school called the Steven Tito Academy (STA).
The school has been set up by a local Tanzanian NGO called The Baobab Home (www.tzkids.org), who I volunteered with on my previous
trips to Africa.
The school’s goal is to provide
quality education to bright children from low income families who cannot afford
to attend an English medium school. My role will be as a classroom teacher,
working with the local teacher to improve teaching practices and develop the
curriculum.
The Baobab Home has set up a
fundraiser to cover some of my expenses as well as the costs involved in
adequately resourcing the school.
To assist with the fundraising I will be
hosting some events in Shepparton and Melbourne. More details to come. For now, you can make a donation at:
