AFH members work with TDS on the design of the library and teacher resource center.
The first effort to raise funds for our second project, a library and teacher resource center, is accepting the invitation of Madaraka Nyerere to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, June 2-15, this summer (2012). Climbers will commit to try to raise $1000 each, with a starting contribution of $100 from their own pocket (on top of the costs of climbing the mountain). I hope you will get excited about this fantastic opportunity. Our goal for the climb is to raise a minimum of $20,000. This is a non-technical climb, even though it is over 19,000 feet high. If you have ever thought of taking a long walk to the top of the world consider joining us on this adventure. For more information, please read the information packet.
If you know someone who has always wanted to climb Kili, please pass on the information packet and encourage them to become one of our climbers—and contribute the first $100 for their climbing goal.
TDS will continue working with UMABU and the Nyegina Secondary School Board to transform Nyegina Secondary School into a modern educational institution with everything it needs to graduate young men and women who are leaders in their families and community. With the new girls’ dormitory completed we will proceed based on our partners’ strategic plan. Our next step is to construct a library and teacher resource center.
In the summer of 2013, our trip to Tanzania will include students and TDS volunteers who will take part in the construction of the library and teacher resource center. This work study trip is open to volunteers, Northern Illinois students, and students from other Universities. Students and volunteers will get the chance to experience Tanzanian culture while helping with this vital project. Participants will get the opportunity to learn about NGOs in the developing world as well as go on an over-night safari to the Serengeti. If you are interested in these trips, please check out our past trips’ websites: study abroad trip or work study trip. Please, continue to check our website for additional information.
