Congratulations Anna, well
done!!
Anna
Davidson in the UK raised
funds for Maisha Mapya by cycling 1,000 miles from Land's
End to John O'Groats in 2008. She wrote: The choice of
charity is really important to me and has a bit of history.
This year I was awarded a prize by the University of Edinburgh,
which is allowing me to fund the trip, and in doing so I
want to pass on something positive. I was fortunate in my
education, and this is my chance to help out young people
at the Maisha Mapya Education Centre in Moshi, Tanzania.
The centre is planning to build a third classroom (for domestic
science classes) and needs funds for materials in the room,
such as shelves, tables, chairs, stoves and cooking materials.
The classroom is now finished
and the Centre already purchased 4 large tables and 30 sturdy
chairs. Also a strong cupboard was bought to store teaching
materials. Cooking materials and a stove will be bought
soon.
Thanks also to the Tanzania
Development Trust in the UK to make it possible
for Anna to raise funds through the Justgiving website.
TDT is a lively aid & development charity that promotes
understanding and friendship.
