Tanzanian Baskets and Bracelets for Sale - March 16
Posted on Tuesday, March 14, 2006

GLO (Global Learning Organization) will be selling baskets (starting at $12) and bracelets (starting at $4) from Tanzania in Coeur de Catherine, 2nd floor atrium, during the lunch hour on Thursday, March 16. Money raised will go toward the Dorobo Fund, which funds projects in Tanzania. These include school classrooms, water for families, AIDS awareness and other community development projects.

Christine Kirchner, the president of GLO, participated in a J-term study abroad course in Tanzania, Africa through UMAIE. The class traveled with Dorobo Tours and Safaris, which administer the Dorobo Fund.

During Christine's stay in Tanzania, she visited the Murongoine School in the Olasiti Village. This school of approximately 790 students has only 9 teachers, 5 buildings and no running water. Through the Dorobo Fund, they hope to make a water collection system for the school and maybe build another building.

Please help GLO support the Dorobo Fund.
