In my first year as Art Teacher, I wrote and won a grant for an Art and Cultural Exchange with a school in Tanzania. My Tanzanian friend Frank, whom I mentored when I lived in Dar es Salaam and whom I kept in touch with, said he would help and be the contact in Africa. It has been a long time coming to fruition, but here is some of what we recently got back from the school in Tanzania. We will soon be putting together an exhibition of both schools work. This is a very small sampling of what was sent to us.
