Hi guys!

In 2014, a good friend of mine, Stella Ivory and I volunteered for 3 months at Mvumi Secondary School, in Dodoma, Tanzania, as teachers. We  want to help to support our old students, colleagues, and the wider Mvumi community by running half marathons and gathering donations over the next few months for 'Mvumi FM.'

One of the teachers we worked with, Iddi Omary, who works with the visually impaired students, is now starting a radio station in Mvumi, called Mvumi FM. He wants to use this to further educate the Mvumi community, and the surrounding areas, about issues such as social inclusion, health and conflict resolution. He also wants the radio station to be able to provide work experience and employment for the visually impaired students of Tanzania, as he recognises that this area of expertise is perfect for their skills.

This is being made possible by fundraising, donations and assistance through the Mvumi School Trust, and others, as well as from Iddi's personal savings. But he needs lots more help to reach his goal, and so this is why we'd love you to donate. Iddi estimates that his start up costs are approximately 42 million Tanzanian shillings (£14770) for equipment purchase, registration and accommodation for Mvumi FM.

This is a charity which is very close to my heart and they do some incredible work, especially for visually impaired students. If it's £1 or £100, any donation will make an enormous difference so please help a brother out!
