A TANZANIAN JOINS A CHARITY TO HELP SOLVE LACK OF EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN TANZANIA

HI ALL BELOW IS AN EMAIL FROM MONICA MWANGONGA WHO RECENTLY JOINED A GREAT CAUSE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY IN TANZANIA

I recently became a Trustee for a great charity called READ International. We're a charity supporting children's education in Tanzania, East Africa and we're looking for people to get their suits off and running kits on to support this very worthwhile cause.

At the moment we have:

- 20 places for The 2009 British 10km race in London on Sunday July 12th
- 20 places at the 2009 Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon, on Sunday 11 October 2009

READ had places at both these events last year and raised over £20,000! We'd love to smash that total this year. All you have to do is make a minimum fundraising pledge if you want to run in either of these events. If you want to know more or register your interest please contact: tanya.dsouza@readinternatonal.org.uk

You'll even get a free T-Shirt! That surely makes the pain worthwhile.

On the basis of the number of our supporters we have and numbers who have already expressed their interest for this year’s 10km race and Half Marathon, I would like to urge you to confirm your interest as soon as possible as it is very likely that they will fill up very quickly - probably by the end of the month!

It costs us 50 pence to send a book to Tanzania, so all money raised makes a huge difference. Find out more about our work at www.readinternational.org.uk

HAPPY EASTER

EASTER IS A SEASON OF HOPE. HOPING THAT THERE IS LOVE.

IT IS TRUST IN TOMORROW

IT IS FALLING ASLEEP AND WAKING AGAIN WHEN THE SUN RISES.

IN THE EYES OF ANOTHER IT IS TO SEE THAT YOU ARE UNDERSTOOD.

AS LONG AS THERE IS STILL HOPE THERE WILL ALSO BE PRAYER

AND YOU WILL BE HELD IN GOD'S HANDS

(HENRI NOUWEN)

G20 Capitalism Failure

We have witnessed the world's strong economies coming together to solve the mess they created themselves, financial crisis. This is not the first time these supra-economies ever met to discuss the global financial crisis; and every time they meet, they face strong protests from anti-capitalism. We all know that these leaders are working hard for the good of the world; why is it that protesters from every corner of the world oppose and distort their gathering. Why can't protesters give these leaders a chance to quickly resolve this worrying economic situation, instead they protest and attack key governmental buildings.
Protesters somehow know that there are hidden agendas. Capitalism will never admit failure and this is not the majority of us want to hear.Capitalism is on the edge of falling into communism. All capitalistic governments are now run similarly to communism.Yes they are! Anecdote evidence of banks falling into hands of government clearly shows a form of communism where firms are owned by government. This has been the trend in most G20 nations.The meeting held in London to find best and quicker ways of ending the recession by no means touched some aspects of communism similar to the ones Mr Mugabe (and the late Mobutu of Zaire) has been using to run Zimbabwe. Britain for instance, had suggested to 'Print more money' so as to easy the recession. Brainy economists, strategists and financiers around the world ran out of ideas on how to solve this crisis. It now seems the only solution is to PRINT MORE- as Idd Amin once said to his Minister of Finance.
G20 leaders put a great show in London, they enjoyed being interviewed and have their pictures taken.Not one of them seemed unhappy or empathyse with those struggling to cope with daily life. We read and heard more stories of their menu, written by celebrity Chef J. Oliver. It is this menu that worked the magic for IMF to approve one trillion dollar- again it bounces back to Mugabe, Amin and Mobutus formula of Printing More.

Kiswahili miaka ya 80 na 90.

Hapo zamani za kale!
Mdau mmoja katuandikia kwa vituko kutukumbusha miaka ya 80 na 90 wakati kiswahili kilipokuwa kinafanyiwa 'make up'. Wakati huku ulaya, na hasa uingereza, wanaikumbuka the 80s & 90s kwa kutamba kwa boybands; Tanzania tunaikumbuka mi80 na mi90 kwa mabadiliko makubwa ya kiswahili. Sisi wa mikoani tulisubiria kwa hamu misamiati iliyokuwa ikitokea miji mikubwa kama vile Dar, Arusha, Zoo na Iringa. Mi80 na mi90 huko mikoani ilipambwa kwa misamiati mbalimbali, ambayopia iliweza kutuchanganya kitafsiri. Mfano

• Tukitoe, Tukinyanyue= (mara- kitoe king'ombe kidogo)
• Chalii= kijana (Ar, kijana; mza- kulala chali)
• Mshikaji = rafiki (bila mabadiliko)
• Buzi = (Mara, mbuzi mkubwa; Dar- mtu anayekunyonya kifedha)
• Mambo fresh= Mara, neno fresh lilitumiwa na wauza maziwa kumaanisha ubora wa bidhaa hiyo.
• Kihiyo= (Dar na Arusha, mtu aliyetuhumiwa kwa kuiba kwa kutumia kalamu; Msm, neno kihiyo lilimaanisha-kichaa!
  

Manano kama haya yalitesa sana mikoani, vijana walioshindwa kuyatumia katika maongezi walionekana wa-shamba! Lakini pia tusisahau export za mikoani zilizowahi kutoa changamoto miji mikubwa. Export maarufu za kimisamiati toka mikoani ambazo pia zilitafsiriwa kimakosa ni kama ifuatavyo:

• Mura= (Dar, tafsriri=dume)- Mara, tafsiri= Shujaa
• Msimbe= Dar, bibi/girlfriend)- mara, mke au binti mwenye kutembea na mtu aliyeolewa.
• Ndege - Arusha, neno hili lilimaanisha nuksi; mza- neno ndege lilimaanisha uharibifu wa zao la mpunga kwa ndege wengi!
• Magiro ganu- (msm, watu hawa= Dar-?)
• Nyang'au - msm & mza= mvamizi, Pwani = nyama kavu
• Kereng'ende = Bara (msm, mza na Shy = mtu wa kawaida, Dar, moro = mtu baki
• Bumunda- Msm (mza & msm mtu asiyejiweza kimasomo)
• Piga Ng'ombe - (kanda ya ziwa = kaba kabali kwa nia  ya kunyang'anya/kwapua= Dar, Pwani, Moro, Iringa = piga ng'ombe kwa fimbo.
• Kusomesha = (Dar- chombeza, msm, mza & Ar = kijana kumshawishi binti)
  

Je misamiati gani inayokukumbusha mi80 & mi90?

Kampuni za kusafirisha mizigo kwenda Tanzania

Wazalendo!
Kwa yeyote anayejua kampuni zinazosafirisha mizigo kwenda TZ tokea hapa Ireland, tunaomba maelezo. Kuna watu wengi wanahitaji kusafirisha mizigo kwenda TZ (kwa unafuu) lakini hawajui jinsi gani. Tasaidiane!

Special Thanks to all Mothers around the world

Wadau Ireland tunapenda kuchukua nafasi hii kuwakumbuka kina mama wakati wa siku yao 'Mothers Day' iliyosherehekewa duniani tarehe 22.03.09. Kwa kunukuu maneno ya mzee mmoja (wa kale) kuwa maisha ya kina Mama ni sawa na Pilot anaye-endesha ndege. Kina mama pia ni pilots katika familia. Pilot huhakikisha kuwa ndege inasafiri salama hata anapokuwa amechoka au kujisikia kusinzia. Kina mama katika familia huhahakikisha watoto wanaongozwa vema siku hadi siku bila kuchoka.
Mama ni mwalimu katika familia. Mtoto kama mwanafunzi atamuuliza mama swali hata kama anajua mama hatokuwa na jibu; ataomba kila kitu hata kama anajua mama hatakuwa na uwezo. Je, ni nani hakuwahi kulia akiwa mdogo? Je, ulipolia ulimtaja nani? Mama! Mwenyezi mungu awape kina mama wote duniani afya njema ya kuwawezesha kuishi maisha marefu na hata kuweza kuonja matunda ya watoto wao. Kina Mama wa Afrika, kwa namna ya pekee, mnahitaji pongezi kubwa; mungu awabariki. Kina mama vijijini Afrika mzigo wenu kimaisha unatia huruma kubwa. Siku ya kina mama duniani itoa changamoto kwa viongozi wote Afrika kuinua maisha ya kinamama vijijini.
