I have been back to Tanzania for a very brief stay - just one week. We also traveled to the UK to see our family there.
Of course I have some comments about both trips and perhaps air travel. We traveled down to Kilimanjaro Airport from Heathrow on Ethiopian Airlines and enjoyed the flights even though the aircraft were not as classy as the new Singapore Airlines' Airbus A380.
Anyway I am back and will get writing soon.
About Me
- Footsteps NZ-TZ
- I trained as a Forest Ranger and have spent a lifetime growing/harvesting trees in sustainable plantation forests. I have also been involved in the protection of indigenous forest, though are not totally against sustainable utilization. I have also worked as a nurseryman/manager, encouraging the planting of trees as a way to improve the planet, conserve soils and regulate rainfall. My life-changing experience was to use my skills in order to help improve the living environment of some village people in Tanzania and do some other projects such as rainwater harvesting and school building. I worked there for some seven years. There were some 28 primary and 7 secondary schools involved with the projects - all of them in the poorer rural areas surrounding the base of Mt Meru, Tanzania. I call the first NGO I worked for Hifadhi, meaning Conservation. The bulk of my time was with DME.
