Today is Nyerere Day in honour of the first President of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere (1922-1999). Known as "Mwalimu" (Teacher), Nyerere made sure that people from different ethnic groups and religions attended school together and thereby grew up together. He successfully united over 120 ethnic groups into one country speaking a common language, Kiswahili.
Although it's a public holiday, the guys are at work at UMATU Centre. It's in the final stages now, with painting underway. Next will come furnishing the bakery, organizing training and launching activities.
