University Visits

Apologies for the lack of posts since I arrived in Tanzania. Unfortunately I was unwell for a few weeks and had lack of internet access but am now back on track!

During my first week we visited the following Universities in the Temeke district of Dar es Salaam where my team will be working:

• Vocational Education and Training Authority (VETA) 
• The Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial Academy
• Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA)

National and international team leaders

Restless Development have not worked in these Universities before so it is exciting that the project is expanding. We met the Dean of Students, the Vice Presidents as well as the President of the Student Union. All were very welcoming and happy for us to carry out many peer education sessions with their students.

The Universities are currently closed and re-open for the start of the new academic year shortly. We are planning to attend their orientation (fresher) weeks so we can raise awareness of the programme and encourage students to sign up to our peer education sessions.
