Then Back to YARMOUTH

Having a chance of going back to Yarmouth for me and Mr. Saronga with Mr. Tony was another opportunity of learning to me. We did a lot of Training tours to Museums in Yarmouth with Mr. Tony and his wife Patty.

One among the great training tours which we did and I will never forget in my life is “Whale Watching in Digby”

‘The trip was fun and wet because of the waves, and high speed Boat pumping here and there. Before the trip I thought was just normal trip but after going very far where I couldn’t see anything out of water, birds, and my friends in the boat, I started praying. Then few minutes later we started gambling showing Whales, oooooh there,oooooh here. And at last we were lucky we saw almost 4 Whales, and good enough they came underneath of our boat and starting making fun water games with us. “Fabulous trip”

“Strengths, Entrepreneurship and Great Teachers Day workshops” at NSCC IT Campus were really healthful to me and back home Tanzania for our students. Because I learnt a lot of things in those workshops, so I will use the knowledge and skills to teach Tanzanian upcoming generation. Thanks to facilitators.

Tour of Pier 21 Canada’s Immigration Museum was one among the good tour I made in Halifax. The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, is Canada's National Museum of Immigration. The museum is well arranged, well organized and a lot of History to learn. Then we had good presentation at Halifax Public library.

Having the “BARBEQUE RECEPTION “with NSCC graduates was fantastic and true love to me and the group in all. Ahsante Sana guys-it was awesome.
