Another way to discover the beautiful tanzania...
What a great story. Having spent time (but not enough!) in Tanzania and visited Zanzibar, I have always longed to go back. Now I know where I am heading. Hats off to Ms. Sibylle! Your story is inspiring and should encourage us all to follow Goethe: "Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it! Boldness has geneius power and magic in it!"
I am going to start dreaming!
How do you deal with corruption? I recall your candid talk in a Deutsche Welle interview a few years ago. Have conditions changed?
Good for you. You've done a great job!
