Review for Achieve in Africa, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA
A friend of ours once said ... "feed a student and you feed a nation".
AIA is developing future productive citizens for Tanzania's future.
My wife and I visited the school site in Olasiti. The original buildings were 50 to 60 years old with dirt floors, little ventilation and poor lighting. The walls were literally crumbling. AIA has begun an incredible transformation by constructing new buildings and renovating old but salvageable structures. A "high school" is entering the second year of instruction. Previously, students needed to travel 30 miles over poor roads and unsafe conditions to obtain a secondary education.
The money we raised from friends and family has furnished the interior of the school with desks and supplies. The biggest and best feature was to bring electricity to a few of the classrooms.
Th AIA effort is not simply about constructing buildings to house a school. The AIA effort helps break the cycle of poverty by providing an opportunity for an education and a better job.
The children of Olasiti are hard working individuals who take pride in their education.
Please support the concept that when you "Feed a student and you feed a nation".
Thanks.
Larry and Kathleen Turner
