Zara Charity - MINI VAN PROJECT

Image
"Hello everyone, my name is Mussa Hassan Habib, I am a teacher at Ngorongoro Nursery School, located in Tanzania, and I am currently teaching 65 students. They are between 3 and 6 years old. They are from the Maasai tribes and their parents take care of livestock during the day. My students dream of becoming doctors, road guides, teachers, presidents, engineers and nurses. I want to help them realize their dreams and succeed in life. Almost all of them live near the school, but there is one problem. I have to walk 4 kilometers through the forest every morning to go to school and the same way every night to go home. I often meet dangerous animals like buffalos, hyenas, snakes, elephants... and sometimes I hear the lions roaring next to me when I go to school. It is the same for my students and it is a very dangerous place to walk. It worries me a lot and I am the only teacher in the area. If I were attacked by a wild animal, the students would not be able to go to school and their ...

Victorine's adventure: climbing Kilimanjaro by the Machame route in 7 days

" Day 1: from Machamé gate (1 800 m) to Machamé camp (3 010 m) We had a team of five girls: my two roommates, Julie and Alizée, and two other customers of 20 and 21 years old, Laurie and Axelle. We left the Springlands Hotel around 9am after the briefing with the guide, Yohana. Laurie and Axelle arrived later the last night, so they could not do the briefing. The road was short, and we arrived quickly at Machamé gate. We waited a long time, maybe 3-4 hours, in a great space where you can buy coffee, tea, hot chocolate or climbing equipments! I took a delicious cappuccino to warm me up. We ate our lunch box. Then, Yohana came for us to start the climb, with the assistant guide Nicolas and the French translator. It was strange because we did not know where was the camp and if it was a long or medium walking. We were in the rainy forest, whereas the name suggests, it was raining! We walked slowly slowly, polé polé  in Swahili, to acclimatize ourselves, and we drank a lot of water (3-...
