Amka Afrika School

While we were in Tanzania in March, we visited the Amka Afrika school, a new school built by the Bushdrifters, our safari guides, in an under-served area  in the city of Babati.   What started as just a few hours spent with local children has now become a non-profit foundation and a shipping container full of donated school supplies (white boards, desks, books, etc). 

To get an idea of how the children at Amka touched our hearts please watch this video.



Here's a few pictures of some of our Tanzania team packing school supplies in the Quad Cities as well as the packed shipping container in the Chicago suburbs.     The Amka Afrika Foundation will have their website up and running soon.   It's amazing how quickly things have come together for this project.  As Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
