An update on progress with the Highlands Hope Umbrella Youth Peer Health Educator project in collaboration with McGill University's Ingram School of Nursing by project coordinator George Sanga.
McGill's Ingram School of Nursing MSc student Joyce Ngabire has arrived in Njombe and is working with Highlands Hope Umbrella staff and volunteers to assess the impact of the Youth Peer Health Educators pilot project.
Edmund Munubi and Betty Liduke lead the development of an innovative seniors' day centre at TANWAT Company Hospital; first day shows need for basic social and health care among Njombe seniors.
George Sanga has been a volunteer leader with KYOFI and with the Highlands Hope Umbrella for several years and now joins the group as a consultant to extend our peer health educator network into other primary schools in the Njombe area.
Terry’s Tanzania
In January 2006, Montreal’s famed Gazette cartoonist Terry Mosher (Aislin) traveled to the Southern Highlands of the East African nation of Tanzania to visit Highlands Hope.
He captured the beauty, the heartbreak and the courageous determination of Highlands Hope activists like nurse Betty Liduke, community-organizer Jackson Mbogela, and the men, women and children who make the Makete and Njombe Districts of Tanzania a very special place.
