2. What an incredible experience we had in Tanzania! The people are so warm and
friendly, the landscape stunning and the wild life amazing. Trip of a lifetime.
Enjoy the pictures----Alexia, Paula & Takis

3. Alexia’s penpal, Miriam. Miriam is 14 years old, loves biology
and chemistry and aspires to be an accountant.
Miriam walks 5 Km each way, every day to school. She is
considered one of the students who lives close by.

8. An unfinished project to build a water holding tank. This tank is too small to hold sufficient
water to get through the dry season. It is what inspired us to focus on a new water tank project!

43. Lake Victori

51. The Shanga Workshop was founded as
a for-profit company to create a
community that would support and
empower those Tanzanians who have
been marginalized by their disabilities.
Disabled Tanzanians are able to realize
their potential, develop new skills,
build relationships based on respect
and improve their own lives. Using
recycled materials, they produce
beautiful glassware and jewelry.
Our final stop in Arusha

52. What we brought back home with us:
• Wood carved by local artisans; beaded crafts supporting the micro
businesses empowering Maasai women; glassware and jewelry from
the Shanga workshop.
• Perspective:
• Be kind to the earth---recycle, recycle, recycle
• Don’t take clean water for granted
• Spend more time with family and friends, shut off the
technology
• Smile and say “Jambo” to everyone you meet
• Appreciate the simple; relish the colors around us
• And finally, HAKUNA MATATA
