WHO WE ARE Project Penda was started in 2007 by me (Isabel Litwin-Davies from Toronto, Canada), Monica Thwaites from Vancouver, Canada and Toni Morzenti from Greenbay, Wisconsin, USA. During July of 2007, we went to Tanzania as part of a volunteer program to build new school facilities for the Moshono Primary School. This program built the shells for two classrooms but there was still much work to do. Upon our return home, we contacted the Moshono School Board and worked with Mr Munka Killerai, School Board Trustee, to plan Project Penda. During the winter of 2007/8, I raised $7,500 for the work and then used my own money to return to Moshono in July of 2008 where I worked with Mr Killerai to completed a new classroom. Special thanks are due to Mr Killerai for his support and enthusiasm which were both essential in the success of Project Penda. Now, I am in the last year of my BA in African and Development Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, England, and I will continue my interest in development work by starting a MA in Global Health next September. However, in July and August, I would like to return to Moshono School to build another classroom and dig a new well for the school, both of which are desperately needed. Please help to to make this a reality by making a small contribution to Project Penda. All money contributed goes directly to supporting the construction and I provide all the administration myself for free. ||  ||
