Yesterday was a very exciting day at the Raleigh Tanzania field base as the allocations for the Team Leaders were announced! All of the ICSE projects will be working to develop the entrepreneurial skills of young people involved in the dairy industry in rural Tanzania and will be based in the region of either Mbeya or Njombe.
The nine teams will be working alongside our project partner, EADD (East Africa Dairy Development) to engage youth into the dairy value chain and scale existing businesses.
So without further ado here are the allocations.
The following teams will be based in Njombe...
Njombe is a region which is known for its tea plantations and is an area with lots of forests including a large one called Nyumbanitu.
Team Nundu: Vasant and Jane
Team Itulike: Ibrahim and Qasim
Team Nyumbanitu: Sauli and Kirun
Team Ibumila: Sophia and Siobhan
Team Lusitu: Umaru and Sekela
The following four teams will be in the Mbeya region.
Mbeya is a region which is known for its banana and avocado trees. It is surrounded by mountains and a beautiful waterfall and also has lots of tea plantations.
Team Ilolo: Kiran, Alphonce and Soma
Team Lulasi: Heleena and Martin
Team Makandana: Alasdair and Paul
Team Mibula: George and Hosea
Tomorrow the Team Leaders all leave to visit their new communities on PPV (project planning visits). They will be meeting Village Leaders, their homestays, some of the entrepreneurs and learning about the villages ready for the arrival of the volunteers.
