My name is Kennedy Odhiambo Oulu. Friends and family call me Ken. I have been living and working in Tanzania for the past 5 years, after a stint as VSO volunteer in Malawi. I am no stranger to The Foundation for Tomorrow—I have known the organization since 2010. I remember taking care of my one-year
As our students grow older, we are looking for more opportunities after Secondary School. Through Joshua Nassari and Africaid, we were introduced earlier this month to the African Leadership Academy, who has an Advanced Level program in South Africa.

Because the SHARE THE LOVE campaign is always such fun, we thought we should create another opportunity to connect with the TFFT kids!

As I begin the 7th week of my internship, it’s crazy to think about all the different things I’ve learned and seen so far. It’s been cool to see all of the inner-workings of TFFT and all that goes into making this organization so successful. Since my last post, I learned how to navigate our
Habari za asubuhi (Good Morning)! I cannot believe how quickly this summer is flying. I am finishing my third week in Arusha, and so much has happened since my last blog post. I am enjoying my time here greatly, and my favorite part of every week is spending time with the Scholars! They are absolutely
Jambo from Arusha! My name is Zoe Rae Rote, and I am this year’s TFFT Summer Field Intern. I will be spending nine weeks in Arusha, working with TFFT and tutoring at Usa River Academy. Although today is only my fifth day, I love Arusha and the TFFT team already! The highlight of the last
Hello! Last year we welcomed June with a band-spankin-new website. I remember the launch clearly. Kat, Catherine, and I had been working around the clock so that it could go live before I hopped on a plane to Tanzania for RIDETZ. Well, here we are one year later, and I cannot imagine life without our
