Elia Mgao is a real agent of change. He has shifted from working at a school with only a few children with different disabilities, to another school that will conduct a program for teenagers who are out of school for different reasons. Nowadays, he is busy making awareness in the society and in the streets, about the right to go to school and about this programme, that is offered for free.
By the Mount Kilimanjaro, in Moshi district, we find Reward Mrindoko Elikaza who is employed as a special needs teacher at Singachini Primary school. His focus is primarily on children’s right to go to school, and facilitation for children with intellectual disability.
The headteacher at Mpilipili primary school is a specialised teacher, a previous project participant and still a hardworking agent of change. We went to Lindi, on the beautiful southern coast of Tanzania to find Seif.
On a mountain top in Ileje, there is a specialised teacher called Celestine. She invited us to Mtula primary school, to see how she is doing as an agent of change. Motorbike was recommended for transport due to rough roads in the rain season.
She is the only specialised teacher in Mlowa Bwawani Primary School, in Chamwino. Is she able to use some of the knowledge and experiences from the exchange in Molde in her work?
Meet Theresia Makiya, now working as a specialised teacher at Sukamahela Primary School! Is she still an agent of change?
Alex was one of the ten students from Patandi Teachers College on exchange at Molde University College in 2019. As a NOREC agent of change he decided to continue to work for improvement of the life quality of children with disabilities in Tanzania after the exchange. We visited Alex to see how he was doing.
Dear all.
It is my pleasure to announce that our NOREC-project is active again, after a long break due to Covid-19. Just a few days after the Norwegian government opened up for travelling abroad, we (Siv and Thrine) went to Tanzania to visit our partner and friends at Patandi Teachers College (PTC) and Patandi Primary school in Arusha, and potential partner Open University of Tanzania. Seeing each other again was so good, and our joint belief in starting up the project again was strengthened.
