Provide Science Labs for Tanzania Secondary School

Dear Project Wezesha Supporters,

I’m excited to be writing this report from Tanzania, however I’m not yet in Kigoma. I’ll reach Kigoma and our partner villages on May 26^th. At that point, I’ll be able to collect even more information and photos to offer in a thorough report on our STEM project!

For this brief update, we want you to know that we have made some more progress on the STEM labs. We completed the vented ceilings for the laboratory, the work station tables, and the lab-safe windows. The photos show some of our workers installing the ceiling.

Unfortunately, funding has only trickled in as of late and we still have about $9,000 to go in this campaign. One of my aims on this trip is to speak with the headmaster and find out what commitments the local government and the Ministry of Education have made/will make to get this project moving along more efficiently.

Of course, as Project Wezesha receives funds for this project, the work will continue. We've always been quick to get the 'shillings to the shule'. While the reality of working on "Tanzania Time" does sometimes play a role, the more crucial factor on this project is simply funding. Will you consider sharing this project (buttons below) with friends, family, and co-workers so that we can keep this project moving toward completion?

In January 2018, Amahoro Secondary School will finally have students in all grades – Form 1, Form 2, Form 3, and Form 4. We’ll also see our first graduating class in the Fall of 2018! While many of them won’t benefit from the science labs, we know that our incoming Form 1 students, as well as their Form 2 & 3 classmates will be able to enjoy some hands-on learning in the labs!

Thank you for all of your support, spreading the word, and donating!

Asante sana,
