Maua ya Kiangazi mjini Madison

Kipindi cha kiangazi nacho kimeshawasili. Mji wa Madison unavutia kwa maua ya kila rangi


Kwa kutumia teknolojia ya kisasa maua haya yanaoteshwa kwa muda mfupi na yanaoteshwa kilingana na mahitaji kama rangi, ukubwa na kadhalika.

WORLD'S YOUNGEST SOLO MUSICIAN..Kipaji cha ajabu

Huyu mtoto ana kipaji cha kipekee!! Katika umri wake wa miaka minne anacheza VIOLIN vizuri sana tena akifuata ala sindikizi bila ya wasiwasi hata kdogo!!
Click here to view/Bofya hapa uone

Mtoto umleavyo ndivyo akuavyo!!!

Mtoto anayeonekana pichani, nilimkuta akiwa na baba yake juu ya ziwa monona ambalo limeganda sasa kutokana nabaridi kali iliyotawala maeneo mengi ya Marekani. Hapo alipo ameanguka baada ya kuteleza kwenye theluji. Kina cha maji kwenye eneo alilopo huyo mtoto lina pata mita kama kumi hivi. Lakini kutokana na hali ya kuganda, ni salama tu kutembea hapo juu. Wasiwasi wangu ni hiyo baridi na huyo ni mtoto mdogo. Kumbe ndio maana wengi wa wamarekani hawapati shida sana kipindi cha baridi kama inavyotokea kwa wabongo. Wamekuzwa wakiizoea baridi. Ama kweli mtoto umleavyo ndivyo akuavyo

Sifa ya mji wa Madison ni usafiri wa umma. Mfumo wa daladala unamwezesha mwananchi wa kawaida kuishi mahali popote kwai mambasi yapo mengi na yanaenda karibu kila sehemu. Hivyo ni rahisi kufika kila sehemu. Tatizo linakuja pale thelui inpokuwa inaanguka kama inavyoonekana kwenye video hiyo hapo juu. Hebu bofya hapo ujionee mwenyewe!!

HApa kwenye mji wa Madison kipindi hiki cha baridi, kila kitu kimeganda. Hapa ni kwenye ziwa, ni ziwa kubwa ambalo huwezi kuamini kama linaweza kuganda kiasi cha watu kuweza kuendesha magari juu yake. Lakini ndio hivyo ziwa hli limeganda mithili ya maji yalowekwa kwenye friza. Bofya hapo juu ojionee mwenyewe

Madhari ya Theluji

Madhari ya kuvutia, kipindi cha baridi ambapo hali ya jotoi huwa chini kiasi cha kufanya maji na vimiminika vingi kuganda. Katika maeneo mengi ya Kaskazini mwa nchi ya Marekani kunakuwa na hali ya namna hii kwa takribani kipindi cha miezi mitano. Ingawa mazingira yanavutia kuona namna hii, hali hii ni hatari sana kwa afya. Mara nyingi watu wanatembea wakiwa wamevalia makoti na makofia makubwa makubwa ili kujikinga na hali hiyo!

Kumbukumbu za Maisha

Maisha ni safari ndefu, yanatupitisha katika nyakati fulani ambazo hazisahauliki kamwe maishani. Usiku huu pale chini ya Mdigrii mti maarufu pale chuo kikuu cha Dar es salaa, vichwa vilikuwa vikiumia juu ya swali la Isimu lililoulizwa darasani na majibu yake yakawa tabu kidogo kupatikana. Kumbuka tupo 60 Darasani na vitabu ni viwili tu maktabani. Hata hivyo staili hii ya usomaji ilikuwa inatutoa kwani kila mtu alichangia kidogo alichoelewa hatimaye kitu kizima kilipatikana. Kwa bahati mbaya sana mmoja kati ya waliopo hapo ni marehemu sasa, loh!! Inasikitisha sana kwani darasa lote tuliishi kama ndugu, anapotoweka mmoja ghafula ni maumivu makubwa moyoni

NDIZI

Mdau wangu mmoja amenisihi niweke hii picha kwani kuna vijana wa kibongo waliozaliwa huku ughaibuni, wanakula ndizi kila mara lakini hawajui kinachozaa ndizi hizo. Hii ni migomba inayozaa ndizi aina ya Mshale.

Unapokuwa umekaa nje ya nchi yako kwa muda usiopungua mwaka, huwa unakuwa na hamu sana ya kurejea nyumbani. Ukiwa umejawa na uzalendo tele unarejea na kukuta jamii imekuandalia mambo ya hivi!!! Huwa inatia moyo sana

MLO WA KITANZANIA HASWA

Mapochopocho kadha wa kadha yalikuwepo, ilimradi kila mtu alifurahia. Huku baadhi ya mboga za majani zinaliwa bila kupikwa kama inavyoonekana hapo juu. Jamaa mmoja ambaye hakuwa amezoea huu mlo wa namna hii yalimkuta ya kumkuta siku moja. Jamaa alifika Marekani akiwa hana mwenyeji wa kueleweka, hivyo baadhi ya mambo mengi ya kitamaduni ilibidi ajifunze tu mwenyewe. Siku moja mchana jamaa akiwa kachoka kweli, akaingia mgahawani. Kama ilivyo kawaida ya wageni wengi wanaoingia Marekani kwa mara ya kwanza na ambao hawakuwa na mazoea ya kuingia ingia migahawani kule nyumbani, ilimwia jamaa vigumu kidogo kuelewa kilichoandikwa kwenye Menyu. Mhudumu nae alikuwa mmarekani mweusi na alikuwa anaongea kwa haraka kidogo hivyo ikawa vigumu kidogo kwa jamaa kuelewa aagize nini. Hivyo kwa kutizama picha jamaa akachagua chakula kimoja kilichoonekana kama kina nyama nyingi nyingi hivi. Baada ya muda, binti mhudumu alirudi akiwa na kinywaji, jamaa alikipokea na kuanza kubugia, mara kidogo binti karejea tena na sahani imejaa mchicha lakini mbichi, jamaa alitamani alie kwani alijua ndio chakula kimekamilika hivyo.

MLO WA KITANZANIA HASWA

Nilichowasifu hawa jamaa ni kwamba, hawakusahau chakula cha thamani kuliko vyote. Makande yalikuwepo pia na ni matamu ajabu. Wakina ambiere mpo hapo!

Najua wengi wanameza mate hasa walio Tanzania ambapo mishkaki sasa hailiki hasa kutokana na matatizo ya bonde la ufa...poleni sana ndugu zetu. mwisho wa juma lililopita mmoja wa watanzania waishio Nashville Tennessee hapa marekani bwana Joshua Idassi na familia yake waliandaa hafla fupi iliyofanya baadhi yetu tuliokikosa chakula kitamu cha Tanzania tukumbuke nyumbani tena. Ngoja niwaonjeshe japo kwa picha.

TENGA LA KUBEBEA WATU

Katika hali ya kutoa burudani na kujitafutia riziki, huyu jamaa ameunda mkokoteni wake ambao unafanana na yale nmatenga ya kubebea kuku kule nyumbani. Anawaendesha watu watatu hadi wanne kwenye mkokoteni huo kwa ujira wa Dola 10. Jamaa huyu anajivunia sana uvumbuzi wake huu na anaamini kuwa ni hatua kubwa sana ameifikia kwenye maisha. Kwake yeye kazi yoyote ni kazi, hachagui.

RAHA YA KIPINDI CHA KIANGAZI

Kila mtu anaburudika kwa namna yake, wengine ndio hivyo wanafurahia kwa kulala chini, wengine ndio wanatumia kipindi hiki kufunga pingu za maisha na kadhalika. Hali ya hewa ya namna hii inasemekana pia kuwa inaathiri hata soko la bidhaa. Watu wengi hupenda kununua bidhaa kipindi hiki hali inayofanya bei za vitu vingi kupanda kuliko kawaida.

KIPINDI CHA KIANGAZI

Kipindi cha kiangazi kimeanza hapa Marekani, wakazi wake wanatumia muda huu kufanya kila linalowafurahisha. Pichani Jamaa anaonekana akirusha tiara, mchezo ambao kule nyumbani tumezoea mambo haya yanafanywa na watoto. Huku hata watu wazima wanafanya ili mradi tu wanakuwa wametimiza furaha yao.

NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE

Life is full of challenges, sometimes we think it is the end and there is no more hopes ahead. This is the worst mistake ever. When you think there is no altenative, a lot more lay ahead unexplored. All you need is to hold a little longer and tell youself "this is not the end" and you will realise that there is a way out. This works in all aspects of life, when you are looking for a job and no opening is seen anywhere, never give up. That might be your message that you don't need to be employed so you live under some one, rather you can create opportunities and open doors for others.

Why English is Hard to learn

REASONS WHYThe English language is so hard to learn.

• 1) The alphabet was created for languages with five vowels, while English has sixteen.
  2) The history of English is complicated, is because it incorporates spelling patterns from
• several different languages. Look to Irish American Vernacular English and also see examples from First Nation languages.
  As a result you can appreciate the confusion below.This is passed on by a linguist, original
• author unknown.
  
• The bandage was wound around the wound.
• The farm was used to produce produce.
  The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.

  The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
  Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
  A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
  When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.

  Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
• 
  There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.
• Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
• We take English for granted.
• But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
• And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
• If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese?
• One index, 2 indices?
• Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
• If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
• If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
  
• Pronunciation in the English language
  The author, Prof. H. L. Chace was a professor of French and wrote these in 1940 to to demonstrate that intonation of spoken English is almost as important to the meaning as the words themselves. He is the originator of ANGUISH LANGUISH, for you, your friends, and your family to half pun wit. Example: Fairy Tales Little Red Riding Hood becomes this title Furry Tells Ladle Rat Rotten Hut.

  What difficulties are unique to Dialect Speakers?
  
  SEE CREOLE LITERATURE In the African-American Vernacular English that is widely spoken in most inner cities you will find an extreme simplification of consonants at the ends of words that goes beyond the pattern of any other dialect.
• The t in test may be pronounced less than 10% of the time, even at the very end of the sentence where it is heard most clearly in other dialects.
• In words like old, it is not only the d that is not pronounced, but the l is usually converted to a vowel, so that ol and old may be homonyms.
• Even single consonants may be deleted at the ends of words. And there are differences in grammer.
• The 's that signals possession at the end of a sentence (This is my mother's) it is rarely used to relate two nouns (This is my mother cousin house). PDF FILE

  WRITING - KIDS NEED TO TUNE UP
  "Well, I can't take on all of our hurried society at once, but in the handwriting realm, at least, I'm going to have my say. Because most research and the specialists I've talked to agree that children are generally ready to be introduced to writing -- and have the necessary motor and visual skills -- sometime during kindergarten. In fact, not even every kindergartner is prepared to write, say the experts, all of whom advocate waiting until a student is ready and receptive. "It's easier to learn something when everything is in place," says Newman, who is a perceptual motor therapist, runs movement classes for children and thinks kids need to exercise and move to develop good pre-writing skills. Yet many preschools persist in teaching children to write, and even evaluating that writing, before the students have the skills they need. [...Remember the progression when we were in elementary school? Printing in kindergarten and/or first grade. Cursive in third. Penmanship grades. Most assignments in elementary school were handwritten. Typing didn't come until sometime in middle or high school. Compare that with today's curriculum. Handwriting in preschool, probably in reaction to the tougher kindergarten curriculum. Then, in second grade, sometimes before they have the basics of handwriting down, children are often introduced to typing. Cursive still comes around third grade, but nowadays it's often a rushed program, with some people arguing that one script should suffice, especially since most kids are going to wind up on computers. And forget penmanship; kids are lucky if they are taught to sit properly and form their letters efficiently. In fact, according to the experts, not only do most teachers have no training in handwriting instruction, they don't have the time to teach it thoroughly."

  Write in the Middle a workshop for middle school teachers who teach writing, complete with audio files and Best Practices in Teaching Writing.
  Writing Tips:I was once taught that the first sentence of every paragraph should contain the main idea of the paragraph. Then the following sentences should give info about that topic and the last sentence should be the summary of the main idea.Write about issues you really, really care about like things that frustrate or make you mad. Try to use the simplest-possible language, write like you talk and use personal experience to the maximum. Listen to yourself read it aloud for how it sounds - is it your voice? Is this what you mean to say? Reread and rewrite until it just "sounds right," which seems to have something to do with rhythm and other stuff. Start reading two or three paragraphs before to get a "running start to that will help you shape the next sentence.Find a way to hook a big idea to something real and immediate and write about whatever is personal to you about that subject. Your life experience - the more the better. My favorite book is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. (If you haven't read the book and he seems to be talking about himself as someone else, that "someone else" is him before he had some sort of mental breakdown.) There's a really good description by Pirsig the main character about how he helped a student get around writer's block.The discussion of "quality writing" starts around page 190 depending on which book you have.

  We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
  One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
  You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
  If the plural of man is always called men,why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
  If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
  If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?
  Then one may be that, and three would be those,yet hat in the plural would never be hose, and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
  We speak of a brother and also of brethren,but though we say mother, we never say methren.

Inaumiza sana na ni upotevu wa fedha kama tudude kama hutu tutakuwa tumejengwa kwenye eneo linalopaswa kupitishwa barabara, au limetengwa kama eneo la michezo au lina kazi nyingine yoyote. Ni ngumu kufanya maamuzi ya kutuondo hutu. Hata dereva wa tingatinga mwenyewe ataona noma kulipitisha hapo! Nadhani hata tinga tinga lenyewe kama lingekuwa na sauti lingegoma kupitia tudude kama hutu! Mh

Hata Marekani za hivi zipo

Unapokuwa Tanzania au nchi yoyote inayoendelea, unaposikia mtu anataja Marekani, picha ya kwanza unayoipata ni ya Majumba makubwa na ya kifahari. Kamwe huwezi kuwaza kuwa kibanda kinachoonekana pichani nacho chaweza kuwa marekani. Hapa ni katika mji wa nashville, mji mkubwa kuliko yote na ambako makao makuu ya Jimbo la Tennessee yapo.

Utajiri wetu unawanufaisha waghaibu

Bustani ya wanyama ya Nashville Tennessee Marekani, imesheheni wanyama wengi waliosafirishwa toka sehemu mbalimbali za Afrika ikiwa ni pamoja na mbuga maarufu ya Serengeti. Si wanyama tu, ukiangalia kwenye hiyo picha hapo juu utaona kuna mfano wa ngao ya kimasai. Hawa jamaa wameeleza moja kwa moja kuwa asili ya ngao hiyo ni Tanzania kwenye kabila la wamasai.

Pia kuna picha mbali mbaali za mabinti wa Kimasai zianonekana kwenye mbao za matangazo kwenye hiyo bustani. Ninalojiuliza ni kwamba picha hizo zilippigwa kihalali? Je hao mabinti au wazazi/walezi wao walitoa idhini? Je walilipwa haki yao? Je walijua picha zao zitakuwa kwenye mbao za matangazo zikiingiza fedha kwa kila mtu anayeingia kwenye bustani hiyo?

TAmaduni zetu zinazotoweka taratibu kwa wenzetu zimebakia kuwa chanzo kikubwa cha mapato.

FULBRIGHT ENRICHMENT CONFERENCE- SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA

This year, language instructors from all over the would, met in San Diego California under the auspices of Fulbright program. It was a wonderful moment of sharing experience and cultural materials from all over the globe.

Utamaduni wetu

Mila na desturi ni dhana zinazomtambulisha mtu awapo pamoja na watu wengine. Ni muhimu kuziheshimu na kuzienzi, hata hivyo wakati inapobidi, baadhi ya mila inapasa zichunguzwe na kuwerekebishwa hasa pale mila hizo zinapoleta madhara kwa jamii moja kwa moja au kwa kupitia kwa viumbe vingine. Tunapozizungumza mila hizi hasa kwa watu wasiozifahamu, hatuna budi kuwa maini sana ili kuepuka kudharaulisha nchi yetu kwa wageni wasioifahamu.

Japo twappaswa kuzipiga vita mila zenye madhara, inatupasa kuwa makini hasa tunaposema tukiwa nje ya Tanzania. Watu wa nchi za magharibi, wamekuwa na mtazamo hasi sana juu ya bara la Afrika, hivyo kudharau mila na desturi za waafrika pasipokujua mila hizo ni kiungo kikubwa kwa jamii za waafrika na kwamba kwa namna moja au nyingine zina umuhimu wake katika jamii.

Mwezi wa kumi na moja mwaka jana 2006, nilipata nafasi ya kuwasilisha mada ya Ukeketaji kama inavyoonekana kwenye picha hapo juu. Nilipokea maswali mengi ikiwa ni pamoja na kuhusu uchaguzi wangu wa kutumia neno FEMALE CIRCUMCISION na si MUTILATION. Maneno haya yote ambayo yanalenga jambo moja ya TOHARA KWA WANAWAKE au UKEKETAJI, yanatumiwa yakiwa na maana zilizozidiana uzito.

Mimi kama mtu ninayeipenda nchi yangu, utamaduni wangu na kuuheshimu, nilipata wakati mgumu kutafuta namna ambayo ningezungumzia suala hili la UKEKETAJI bila kuwatukana wazee waliodumu na mila hii japo si nzuri.

Wazo langu la msingi hapa ni kwamba japo mila fulani zimeonekana kuwa na madhara kwa binadamu, tunapozizungumza tunapaswa kuwa makini sana tukijaribu kwa kila njia kuepuka kudhalilisha au kutukana utamaduni wa nchi yetu na asili yetu kwa ujumla. Ni muhimu kupiga vita mila potofu, lakini namna tunavyolijadili suala zima, ina madhara au manufaa makubwa sana kwa uelewa wa watu kuhusu nchi yetu. KUMBUKA MDHARAU VYA KWAO NI MTUMWA.

MTTA YAPATA VIONGOZI WAPYA

Chama cha watanzania waishio jimbo la Tennessee Marekani (MTTA)kimejipatia uongozi mpya baada ya uongozi wa zamani kumaliza muda wake. Toka kulia ni Dk. Mkoma ambaye ni makamu mwenyekiti, Bi. Esther Idassi - Katibu, Bw. September Nyang'oro- Mwenyekiti, Dk. Margret Mbaga, mtunza hazina, na Bi. Winnie Mushi MBye ni katibu anayestaafu. Katika kipindi cha uongozi uliopita chama kilifanikiwa kupata usajili, na kilizinduliwa rasmi na mheshimiwa balozi Andrew Mhando Daraja, aliyekuwa balozi wa Tanzania hapa Marekani. Tunawapongeza viongozi waliomaliza muda wao kwa kazi nzuri, na tunawakaribisha viongozi wapya.

HISTORIA YA KUSIKITISHA

Dk. Mkoma wa chuo kikuu cha Vanderbilt akichunguza kwa makini mnyororo aliougundua DK Nyanda ( Mwenye fulana ya Bluu) Mambo ya ubaguzi wa rangi bado yanaendelea katika baadhi ya maeneo ya Marekani, kuna baadhi ya nafasi watu hawawezi kuzishika kutokana na rangi yao nyeusi. Yote haya ni matokeo ya historia mbaya ya ubaguzi. Siku chache zilizopita kama juma moja na nusu, wamarekani walikuwa wanamkumbuka mpignia haki Dk. Martin Luther King. Hili ni moja kati ya aliyopiga vita Dk. king

WATAALAMU

Wadau hawa waishio hapa Marekani wakiwa kwenye mkutano wa watanzania waishio hapa Tennessee. Wdau hawa ambao ni wahadhiri maarufu wa chuo kikuu cha Tennessee, wameleta mchango mkubwa sana katika taaluma na utafiti. Kulia ni Dk. Joshua Idassi ambaye ni mtaalamu wa masuala ya miti na Dk. Frank Mrema mtaalamu wa miti na kwa sasa amejikita zaidi katika tafiti mbalimbali zinazohusu magonjwa ya Miti na namna ya kuyatibu/kuyakinga. Hawa jamaa pia wana nafasi kubwa kuishauri serikali yetu katika fani walizobobea ili kuiepusha nchi yetu na madhara yanayotokana na ongezeko la joto duniani.

HISTORIA YA KUSIKITISHA

Pichani ni Mnyororo na tufe lenye uzito wa zaidi ya Kilo 30 lililogunduliwa hivi karibuni na Dk. Fred Nyanda hapa Tennessee Marekani. Inasemekana Mnyoror0 na tufe hili vilitumika kuwafungia watumwa wasitoroke kipidi cha biashara ya utumwa. Ni jambo lisiloelezeka jinsi ambavyo binadamu anaweza kumfanyia binadamu mwenzie unyama wa namna hii. Mzungu anayemiliki nyumba ulipogunduliwa mnyororo huo alijisikia aibu wakati mzee Nyanda alipokuwa anauchukua mnyororo huo. Ugunduzi wa mambo haya unatonesha makovu yaliyosababishwa na historia nzima ya Ukoloni na utumwa.
Mengi zaidi kuhusu mnyororo huu yapo jikoni yanakuja

CULTURE SHOCK

Pichani ni Mwalimu Roswita Gowela na mwenyeji wake mara baada ya kuwasili nchini Marekani. Jambo lililomshangaza na kumshtua sana ni pale mwenyeji wake alipomuomba (Mwal. Roswita) apige picha na Mbwa wa huyo mwenyeji wake. Utamaduni wa kufuga mbwa na paka na kuwapa nafasi ya ubinadamu umetawala sana huku Marekani. Wengi wanaoishi na viumbe hawa wanasema eti viumbe hawa wanawapa faraja wanayoikosa toka kwa binadamu wenzao. Hali hii kweli inatisha jamani loh!

OPRAH

Oprah ajenga shule ya kifahari ya Wasichana Afrika Kusini

Bila shaka mmesikia habari ya Oprah Winfrey kufungua shule ya wasichana huko Afrika Kusini. Shule enyewe inaitwa ‘The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy’. Kwa kweli nampongeza kwa kitendo chake cha kukumbuka Afrika na kusaidia wasichana huko. Wanafunzi waliochaguliwa wanatoka kwenye familia zenye kipato cha chini. Na walichaguliwa kutoka kwa maelfu ya wasichana walioomba nafasi ya kuingia huko.Oprah alijenga shule hiyo kwa gharama ya dola za kimarekani $40 milioni. Kwa sasa ina wanafunzi 145. Bila shaka tutasikia waliosoma hapo watapata mafanikio mazuri kimasomo na kwenda kusoma vyuo vikuu maarufu duniani kama Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford etc.Shule enyewe ni ya kifahari hasa. Hata wanaosoma shule za Ivy League na ma Prep school duniani wanaweza kuwaonea wivu hawa wasichana. Nikisema ni ya kifahari, nina maana ni ya kifahari hasa. Oprah mwenyewe ni bilionea na kazoea maisha ya kifahari na alitaka hao wasichana wajue ufahari manake nini. Mfano, shule ina saluni kwa ajili ya kutengeneza wasichana nywele, wanalalia mashuka yenye nyuzi 200 count (Duh…kama wanalala hoteli ya Waldorf Astoria) sahani zilichaguliwa na Oprah na si ajabu sahani moja ina gharama ya dola mia, ina theatre za ndani na nje, ina ma fireplace tele (Afrika unahitaji fireplace ya nini?) na mengine mengi. Walimu wameletwa kutoka nchi za nje.Je, wakirudi majumbani mwao kwa ajili ya likizo wataishi namna gani? Si wamezoea ufahari. Si uwongo kuna watu ambao baada ya kukosa maisha ya kifahari waliozoea, walirukwa na akili na wengine kujiua kalcha shoku. Natumaini Oprah ana mpango wa kuhakikiisha hao wasichana wanaendelea kuishi maisha ya kifahari wakimaliza masomo yao.

Vipi nyie mwaonaje?

WATAALAMU WA LUGHA

Wataalamu wa lugha, toka kushoto ni mwalimu Method Rutechura (Tanzania) Mwalimu Roswitha Gowela (Tanzania) Bi Ndeye Fatou Diop (Senegal) anafundisha KIWOLOF, Mwalimu Abou Salimu (Tanzania) Na mwalimu Michael Wairungu (Kenya) wakihudhuria kongamano la kimataifa la waalimu wa lugha lililofanyika Washington DC marekani. Wote hawa wanafundisha lugha katika vyuo vikuu nchini Marekani chini ya mpango shindanizi wa Fulbrait. Hapa wapo nje ya IKULU YA MAREKANI maarufu kama JUMBA JEUPE (white house)

FULBRAIT

Hawa ni wana Fulbright FLTA, waliopo Marekani wakifundisha Kiswahili katika vyuo vikuu mbalimbali nchini Marekani. Pichani wanaonekana wakiwa ndani ya eneo la ubalozi wa Marekani nchini Tanzania siku chache kabla ya kuanza safari kuelekea ughaibuni. Mpango huu wa fulbright unawawezesha waalimu wa lugha toka nchi mbalimbali kufundisha lugha zao kwa wamarekani, pia inakuwa nafasi kwao kufundisa/kushiriki tamaduni zao wawapo nchini humo.

Katika mfululizo huu nitawaletea baadhi ya matukio ya muhimu yaliyojiri tangu wataalamu hawa walipoondoka nchini. Maoni na michango mbalimbali ruksa.

Mwalimu Abou Salimu, aliyesimama kulia mwenye koti jeusi, Mbongo mwingine anayekuja kasi katika fani ya ufundishaji wa Kiswahili huku Marekani. Hapa yupo na wanafunzi wake huko Chuo kikuu cha New York Marekani. Mwalimu Abou anasifika sana chuoni New York kwa uwezo wake wa kutumia zana za kisasa za kufundishia kama vile Multi media smart cart na kadhalika. Wanafunzi wake pia wamemsifu kwa umahiri wake wa kulandanisha lugha na utamaduni wa watu wa lugha hiyo. Laiti serikali yetu ingetambua umuhimu wa waalimu kama wanavyotambuliwa katika nchi nyingine, waalimu wangefundisha kwa moyo na kiwango chetu cha elimu kingekuwa juu sana.
Hata hivyo, waalimu mliopo mbali na nchi yenu, tambueni kuwa Tanzania bado inawahitaji sana, Tanzania ya kweli itajengwa na wataalamu kama nyie. Hivyo pamoja na kuwafunza waghaibu, kumbukeni HOME IS ALWAYA THE BEST. Asante kwa juhudi zako mwalimu endelea kukomaa,... Kwa wengine mnaofanya mambo kama haya tafadhali nitumieni picha na maelezo ili tujadili

Mwalimu Method Mechardes Rutechura ( Katikati mwenye Tshirt nyeupe na Jeans ya bluu) Kijana aliyejizolea umaarufu hapa Marekani kutokana na uwezo wake mkubwa wa kukimiliki Kiswahili awapo mbele ya Darasa. Hapa anaonekana akiwa na wanafunzi wake Katika chuo kikuu cha SIT kilichopo Brattleboro,Vermont Marekani. Kwa sasa mwalimu Rutechura anakingurumisha Kiswahili katika Chuo kikuu cha Madison Winsconsin MArekani. Nchi yetu inahitaji vijana kama hawa wenye vipaji na taaluma waliopikwa wakaiva katika fani. Mambo haya yakiendelea namna hii, Tanzania yetu itazidi kuwa maarufu na hili litacochea maendeleo yetu yanayochechemea. Tunawahitaji vijana kama hawa kuondoa Giza lililosheheni kwenye vichwa vya watu wengi wa nchi za magharibi kuhusu bara la Afrika. Wengi hudhani kuwa Afrika ni nchi moja tu kuuuubwa na kwamba watu wake wote wanajuana.
Hongera Professa- Kama wanavyokuita wanfunzi wako huku, kaza kamba safari bado ndefu

Kiswahili

Mwalimu Juma Rioba (Katikati mwenye shati la Kitenge) Akiwa na wanafunzi wake wa Kiswahili katika chuo kikuu cha Bowling Green huko jimbo la OHIO Marekani. Lugha ya Kiswahili inazidi kupanda chati kutokana na kupendwa na wengi duniani. Hii inatia moyo kwani walau utamaduni wa Afrika unazidi kuenea katika nchi za magharibi ambazo mara zote zimekuwa zikidharau bara la Afrika japo utajiri mwingi toka Afrika ndio ulisababisha maendeleo ya wamagharibi hawa.

Mlima Kilimanjaro, Mlima ambao wakenya wamekuwa wakijifagilia sana kuwa uko kwao. Hivi tufanyeje ili tujivunie hazina yetu hii? Unajua katika dunia yote Mlima Kilimanjaro ndio mlima mrefu kuliko yotekati ya milima iliyosimama peke yake yaani isiyo kwenye safu. Kwa urefu ni mlima wa pili duniani. Hii ni sehemu ndogo tu ya ,aliasili zilizosheheni nchini kwetu.

Hapa ni Mbeya kijiji kimoja kinachovutia saaaaaaana kwa ukijani wake, ila kimeathirika saaaaaana na tatizo la mmomonyoko wa udongo. Tatizo hili ni kubwa na ni tishio kwa wakazi waishio karibu na mahandaki yaliyosababishwa na mmomonyoko huo ambao unaendelea. Kinachoniumiza mimi ni kwamba wakazi hao hawajui namna ya kujiepusha na athari zitokanazo na mmomonyoko huo.

Balozi wa Tanzania akisherehekea Uhuru na watanzania waishio Marekani mwaka 2006

Hapa ni kilele cha mlima Kilimanjaro! Kuupanda ni ngumu lakini ukifika kileleni ni furaha ya ajabu!
