Before starting with World Unite! I was doing my Bachelor Degree. In between my studies I was a trainee at Tanzania Airport Authority (TAA) for three months, and then in 2016 I did an internship at SUMATRA (surface and marine regulatory authority) also for three months. I graduated in August 2017, and then I started working for World Unite! as a part time worker for several activities as far as supports of participant is concerned.

 

 

My roles are to be responsible of airport transfers (Pick up and drop offs), other transfers (to and from Arusha, to and from Mto wa mbu for safaris, also I am a driver for daytrips, I offer town orientations and city tours to volunteers and clients, and I assist in the finance department.

 

 

There are many things I enjoy working with World Unite!.

 

For the team it is openness and transparency, working hard, helping each other, hospitality and so forth which unite us all as a family. We enjoy the time at work and have a working spirit and not tiresome moments. About the participants I enjoy to meet up with people from different countries, with different cultures, as its an opportunity to learn different things from every corner of the world. Also the unforgettable moments with participants as they come as the clients and leave as friends.

 

 

I enjoy spending my leisure time in Moshi district, which is in the Kilimanjaro region. Most of my enjoyable places are: Playing and football grounds, the Red stone night club, Home (east or west home is the best), coffee union, and gym.

 

 

My favourite local foods are Ugali (also known as Fufu in Nigeria and Ghana), Wali (rice) & beans, and the brown rice known as Pilau. These foods can be found in all of Moshi's local restaurants, for example at the Fresh Coach restaurant near the clock tower, Taj maal near kindoroko hotel, and in Bush and Town restaurant.

 

 

Water falls, chagga land, the local beer from chagga people known as Mbege, the good view of mount Kilimanjaro, the beer, the friendly and hospitality of the people from Moshi, Red Stone which is one among the best night club in Moshi, the local food which is super delicious and last but not least the African culture.

 

 

Playing football (home and sometimes at the Ushirika playing grounds), watch movies, reading books and magazines, listening to music, dancing (at Red Stone), doing some exercise work out, making new friends, telling stories, traveling around the world.

 

 

We are living with World Unite! participant as a family in which we share life experiences, have fun, tell stories, do some exercise and sports together – those are all unforgettable moments.
