"Very touching... their resilience is inspiring. But no, to answer that question, no I don't think that's right. I admire your work with street children in Arusha, Tom. It is very much needed."

Tupendane

Tupendane is Swahili for we do love and care. I arrived back in Canada from a 5 month stint in Tanzania 2 weeks ago and had the experience of my life. When I left for Tanzania I had no idea of what would happen and sometimes I look behind me in disbelief. I arrived in Tanzania in September 2011 with joy ready to live and attempt to get along with the corrupt management of what was then known as Children for Children's future. Little did I know that 1 month after my arrival so much would…

Hey Everyone,
The blog which I posted before this one is from www.tanzaniaupdate.blogspot.com and is more from an organizational perspective. This one will be from a personal perpspective.
In about 1 week I hope to travel to Tanzania again. My arrival date will be a couple days short of the exact time I left Tanzania one year ago. Much planning has gone into this trip and I am very excited to get back to…

- You're almost there Tom. 2.5 months. Megan and I met this guy from Uganda while we were in Washington DC for that conference this week. We practiced some Swahili together and it made me miss Tanzania so much! :) Happy to hear that you're going back. Make sure to keep us all posted on IOH. Your fellow humanitarians will surely appreciate the updates! Best!

- Tom! Good to see you here. ;) Looking forward to hearing more about that summer in Swahili land on IOH. Don't be shy to post pics & maybe write a little blog post about the experience. Getting more people inspired in following your steps & taking action is key. I'm sure you can help foster the next generation of humanitarians going to your project site. All my best buddy, look forward to seeing your content! Cheers
We want to hear from you!
