    Story

    Since leaving Tanzania over 30 years ago, Tesha lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex and worked as a nurse for the NHS.

    Tesha had a 7 year old little boy and Tesha was keen to remember his roots, returning home on a regular basis. He came from a small village at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro. Shimbwe has very basic facilities and Tesha, just prior to his death had been talking at length with us with regard to developing a new project to support children and families from the village. Previously we had done some work with Tesha to support his former primary school and he was extremely keen for us to build on this work. Sadly, he was taken from us before we could move forward but now that he has gone, we are more committed than ever to develop a project in his home village as a lasting legacy for this amazing, most humble, caring and committed man.

    We may need to use some of Tesha's legacy funds to support his child and at this point the project we will create in Tanzania is still in the very early planning stages, but whatever we will do will be in partnership with Tesha's friends and family and the work will focus on children and families from Shimbwe. We will be supporting his former primary school and funds depending, possibly all of the other primary schools in the village.

    When we have undertaken work in the village before, £500 was enough to totally refurbish two classrooms. This included painting and decorating, replacing broken doors and missing windows. If we are able to raise £1500 this will be enough to refurbish 3 or 4 classrooms and also purchase some educational resources for the school.

      Tesha would never believe what has happened so far. £4,380 raised in just over 24 hours of launching this appeal and with several of his friends and colleagues pledging to donate or coordinate fundraising events in the future. Our initial target of £1,500 was enough to refurbish 3 or 4 classrooms in Tesha's former primary school. However, due to the overwhelming generosity, It is now looking like we will be able to completely refurbish every classroom in the school. Thank you to everybody who has donated!

      I was shocked to hear of Tesha's death - I met him through a mutual friend about 25 years ago. I'm happy to contribute to the work in Tanzania which is also my birthplace.
