The 22nd of July, leadership training for young women at Mzumbe University

On Wednesday the 22nd of July, 2009, I conducted a leadership training seminar for thirty students who are enrolled at Mzumbe University, located in Morogoro region. Although students came from from various disciplines, they were all 1st year university students. It should be noted that Mzumbe University has a staggering system, such that only first, second or third year university students will be available at the university at a particular time frame/semester. Thus one will not find 1st and 2nd year or third year students taking classes at the same time. (This helps to reduce congestion and competition for using facilities and resources that are available at the University, among the students).
The Dean of student Ms Mariam Matao Ngowi, assisted me to get participants and gave me a go ahead to conduct the leadership training seminar. The seminar was held in the evening after the student had had their supper. It started from 7:30 pm until 10:00pm. Mzumbe University students were more enthusiastic than students from the University of Dar-Es-Salaam. They seemed to be more aware of the challenges that are facing leaders of today in Tanzania, Africa and the World as a whole, such that they have to pay-back to the financial supporters of their campaigns (most of them are businesspersons), while at the same time fulfill the needs and wants of their voters and the general citizens---conflict of interests.
Please take a look at educational video clips that were used to get the message across.

I will soon post articles that were written in Swahili and English in Tanzania local newspapers.
