By DAVID J MUHUNZI, In 2018, when I joined Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences, I saw some students trying every opportunity that came on their way to get money, some in online marketing and others in betting companies. I was not surprised with my observation because I knew that everyone is eager to get money, to be financially free and achieve financial liberation. I must be honest with one thing here, I also want to achieve financial liberation; the ability to efficiently and sustainably handle my demanding financial needs and life expenses. We are currently exposed to life of very high standards, due to globalization, and everyone wishes to get there, but wait, is it an overnight event? I don't think so. Financial liberation is, for the matter of fact, a process which needs determination, hard-work and above all, patience, and can not be achieved overnight unlike what some people think it is. It is not a crime to hope that one day we will be financially free, or w...

The United Republic of Tanzania is a peaceful East African  country. Tanzanians are so friendly and welcoming, despite the  cultural  diversity, the people of Tanzania are all united under the Swahili language. Phrases like “Hakuna Matata”, “Asante Sana”, “Karibu Sana” and “Safari  Njema” are most likely common in the country. The most common phrase right  now is “Hapa Kazi Tu” meaning “surely here, it’s just work” which is  the Motto for the current president of Tanzania Hon. Dr John Pombe  Magufuli. Tanzania is known for its Safari Adventures, the Serengeti National Park filled with beautiful scenery and incredible  wilderness. It is one among the places in Africa where the ‘’big five animals” can be found. The Lion (Simba) also known as the “King of the Jungle’’, Elephant (Tembo), Leopard (Chui), Buffalo (Nyati) and Rhinoceros (Kifaru). The Ngorongoro crater (A Natural Wonder of the World) is also found in Tanzania. The crater is 610 meters dee...

Are you getting any hardship to start a reading behaviour? Here are the tips close to you,  Set times . You should have a few set times during every day when you’ll read for at least 5-10 minutes. These are times that you will read no matter what — triggers that happen each day. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch (and even dinner if you eat alone). And if you also read every time you’re sitting on the can, and when you go to bed, you now have four times a day when you read for 10 minutes each — or 40 minutes a day. That’s a great start, and by itself would be an excellent daily reading habit. But there’s more you can do. Always carry a book . Wherever you go, take a book with you. When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my drivers license, my keys and my book, at a minimum. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go, unless I know I definitely won’t be reading (like at ...

The Day of the African Child has been celebrated on June 16 every year since 1991, when it was first initiated by the OAU Organisation of African Unity. It honors those who participated in the Soweto Uprising in 1976 on that day. From Genila Hiel, Nakumbuka June 16, 2007. Nikiwa darasa la 3, shule ya msingi Bunju A, nilichaguliwa na walimu kwenda kuwakilisha shule yangu kwenye tukio la kuazimisha #AfricanChildDay , Pugu. Nikiwa na @WorldVision .. Ndio siku niliyotambua kwa nini huwa tunaazimisha siku hii. 👇🏼👇🏼  Nikiwa ndani ya Tshirt kubwa la world vision, nilifurahia maandamano yale. Nikiwa nimeshikilia bango likiwa limeandikwa "SIKU YA MTOTO WA AFRICA" Sikuwa najua haki zangu kama mtoto, sikuwa najua kuna watoto walizililia wakati fulani nyuma. Kuzijua kama mtoto ni muhimu, ilinipa chachu ya kutaka kujua zaidi. Kujua ni nini watoto hupitia nyuma ya kuja shule, kucheza, kufurahi, kutabasamu. Kuna mengi machungu hufanywa kwao, na kwa wakati fulani hukosa pa kukimbilia, ma...

These are two girls among the big group of girls who are in science field. How did they get where they are now?! Get to hear their stories. My names are Hellen Kidatu, a 23 year old Tanzanian.

For a girl this is really sm...
