Balozi

The new US ambassador to TZ came to Mbeya region! :) He had only been here in TZed for 2 weeks and already was traveling outside of Dar to the Mbeya region. He was here to see the Walter Reed foundation which is an excellent organization partnering USA and TZ to fight against HIV/AIDS. The other reason was to visit the Peace Corps volunteers in the region. On Sunday we met him and showed him a presentation of some of our work here in the region. He seems like a nice person and very enthused about helping with non-profit work which is awesome. He came to my site on Tuesday and the people at my institute liked him alot. He saw the department where I worked and met some of the heads of schools. MIST is trying to expand so they were honored that their institute was one of the few visited in the ambassador's time here.
