A MESSAGE FROM Meghann
This is my 13th year running the Kilimanjaro Half Marathon (including last years virtual one) and the 20th running of it. I am excited to be back in Tanzania and hoping many of you will join me in spirit supporting TFFT's work in Tanzania. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world." Margaret Mead's quote has carried me through these last 15 years of TFFT.
It would be awesome if you would consider a gift of $13 to help motivate me in my quest to accomplish this feat once again. We provide each of our Secondary scholars (70 kids this year) $13 per term for "pocket money". This is essentially their allowance. While seemingly inconsequential or an odd thing to provide, it is a powerful $13. It gives these children a bit of independence, dignity and freedom to feel empowered to make some of their own decisions. Kids can buy anything from snack food, sodas, to a special pen or pencil they prefer. Some of our students even save up to get themselves phones, or even rent land to farm during the school holiday.
It is inspiring to see what one person can do to change the course of another individuals life and even more powerful to see education be that change. Thank you for being a part of the TFFT Family and my journey! In Service - Meghann
