March is designated in Rotary as Literacy Month. We felicitated a professor from the University of Dar es Salaam Dr. Edward Bagendshwa. He went completely blind at the age of 9 and despite his challenges went on to get a Doctrate degree from the University of Manchester. Our newest Member Sinit Nzeru recited a poem and reminded us that many of us are where we are today due to support and mentorship by a able teacher during some point of our lives. We would like to pay our respects to all our teachers who have touched our lives in one way or another.
