Dear Team Tumaini:
As we begin to celebrate the holiday season, the community in Sakila and the Board of Tumaini Tanzania are filled with thankfulness for your supportof this village in 2012. Because of your consistent generosity, 66 Tumaini scholars across secondary school and Teachers’ College are approaching the end of another successful school year – education that would not be possible without the scholarships you have funded. And we are partnering with an invaluable team of local teachers, parents, and community leaders to welcome a new class of students into our program in just a few months. Our students continue to be leaders in their schools, the pride of their families, and the hope of Sakila.
To give you a sense of Tumaini Tanzania’s impact, I am excited to share a short video profiling Barakaely, a student from our first class who, because of your support, is now in Teachers’ College:
Barakaely’s story epitomizes the powerful, multiplying effect of your investment in these students: each contribution to Tumaini Tanzania not only helps to lift students like Barakaley out of poverty, but also empowers these students to further ignite hope in their own community.
The holidays have always been an important fundraising season for Tumaini Tanzania. As we prepare to add even more students to our program in 2013 and to support our oldest scholars beyond secondary school, this year is no different. While you begin to plan your holiday and year-end giving, please consider making a donation to Tumaini Tanzania. Celebrate the hope of the holiday season by sharing real hope with these students in Sakila.

Additionally, a Tumaini contribution on behalf of friends or family makes a wonderful gift – please see the box to the right for more information.
On behalf of the special community in Sakila and the dedicated Board of Tumaini Tanzania, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving and blessed Christmas! As we give thanks and pray for students like Barakaely,we also give thanks and pray for you!
Mungu akubariki,
(God bless),
Lide
President, Tumaini Tanzani
