Tanzania

I’m not taking anything away from the BLM movement, but these are people who are being discriminated against because of their skin colour in a predominantly black community. Because they have been born with albinism, their body parts are considered valuable as part of magic healing spells and I saw one report of a young girl who was walking home from school and was abducted, and had her hand cut off to sell to the “witch.” Some murders aren’t even being solved or the people behind them brought to justice. The mothers have such a lack of understanding of this that they put their children into the sun to get some colour, to prevent them being murdered, this is why most albino people die from skin cancer before the age of 35. Sunscreen isn’t a thing as it’s way too expensive. BUT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THAT.

So far, my favorite is "40 Thieves" because of comfortable places to sit on the beach in the shade, with cooling breezes~~a MUST at this time of year. Unfortunately, the Caucasian owner had two large dogs. And, as these vulgar animals always do, they stared intently with glaring, beady, dangerous looking eyes at ‘paying customers’ eating their lunch, glaring at their food in the hopes a crumb will drop or they will intimidate them with their eyes and intent enough to force giving food to them. I don’t know why dog owners don’t see this when it is so obvious to me.

I just got an email telling me that I am now moving on to the interview step for my application to Tanzania. I would be a sustainable agriculture volunteer leaving end of Jan 2021 (if everything goes to plan and COVID doesn't delay more). My interview is in a week and wondering any tips returned or current volunteers had? I will be going over things with my recruitment officer but would love to hear everyone else's thoughts as well. TIA

Just got an email from the Tanzania Country Desk Officer. They’ve give us the option to remain in our cohort or to withdraw and reapply with an expedited process. The email reads as follows:

We would like to thank you for your patience while the Peace Corps has been working through the global evacuation of our Volunteers and developing a plan for returning to the field. After monitoring the situation both here in the US and in Tanzania, the Peace Corps has made the difficult decision to delay your training class scheduled to depart on July 4, 2020. Based on our current assessment, the tentative revised departure date is September 2021. However, we will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely, in partnership with our host country government, and will update you again if the date must be changed.

We understand the unanticipated burden this may cause you and wish this could be avoided; but as our top priority is the safety of our Volunteers, we have determined this is the b

Hi there,

I’ve seen news reports that Tanzania is now open for international tourism. We’re due to come for our honeymoon from 1 Sept - 19 Sept and are wondering if anyone else is still planning on visiting?

Or are you cancelling/ postponing?

Best, Celia

Do people support Magufuli's approach to the pandemic?

Most people (especially Westerners) don't know very much about Tanzania or the people in it, who are some interesting people that you guys reckon deserve to be in the spotlight more? What cultural oddities or misconceptions does Tanzania have that deserve more attention?

I suppose nobody knows but hope there is no harm in asking for some insight.

The world's been struck by Covid19 and East-Africa with a horrible locust plague on top.

Last year, we booked a Safari Trip with Micato for 13 July-23th starting from Belgium. Now we are reaching the point to either hope things improve, postpone to next yea or cancel outright.

What would you do? This crisis has been moving so fast and, at least in Europe, things are opening up again. Personally, I'd love to go if it is possible safely. Both for personal reasons (first safari and an avid traveler) as well as in the hope to support local economies.

What do you think? Any experiences? Any insights?

This is a new one for me! A little over three weeks ago, I received a beautiful Adenium somalense nova Tanzania from a seller in Florida (I'm in Los Angeles). I potted it in the same soil blend I made for an adenium socotranum I got from the same seller a few weeks earlier, as well as all of my other adenium obesum and arabicum plants. It's well drained.

I noticed when I got it that some of the new leaf tips had turned black, but I dismissed this as a consequence of shipping. It hasn't shown any change in three weeks, and now it's starting to drop some of the older leaves. The caudex is nice and firm and the whole thing feels firmly rooted. It's fairly shaded during the hottest and brightest part of the day, and get full sun in the late afternoon. It has been hot (mid 90s) at times, mid 60s at nigh but at times down to high 50s overnight. It's really hard to know what's going on. I was content to let the new growth die-off self correct, but now it's getting worse and the leaf drop sta

This is just one article of many but the fact the test came back positive shows that the test they were given could be faulty or some type of lying/coverup is going on. The Tanzanian President said "there is something happening." What do you think? Do you think something like this is happening in U.S. and Europe? I do remember something like the U.S. government gave out 3k faulty testing kits that were already infected with coronavirus at the beginning of this whole situation. Opinions?
