Our last night in Tanzania with a lovely dinner in Dar es Salaam with our university students: Anna, Sarah and Fatuma.

One special tradition in Tanzania is giving. We brought games, puzzles, books and soccer balls for the kids. And my, what gifts we received: bunches of bananas, chickens, avocados and even beautiful hand stitched works from the HVO tailoring students. We are so thankful for the generosity of the villagers and students.

We spent the last two days at Hope Village visiting the kids, the vocational training classes, the health care center, and the farm. It is amazing to see what can happen when caring people come together to make a dream turn into a reality.

What a joy it is to be here in Tanzania, working with our local partners and visiting children. Today we visited Sapienta school where 16 of our sponsored children are studying. They aim to be the next generation of doctors, scientists, pilots, artists and more, eager to make an impact in their communities and their country. Thanks to the generosity of their sponsors for helping them to achieve their potential.

Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible mothers, grandmothers and aunties around the world who pour out their love, strength, and sacrifice every single day. Today, we especially honor the mothers in Tanzania who work tirelessly to provide for their children and dream of a brighter future for their families despite the challenges of poverty. We also celebrate the amazing women — and families — who sponsor children through Songea’s Kids. Your compassion and generosity help provide food, education, healthcare, and hope to children who might otherwise go without. Through your support, you are helping children discover the possibilities for their future. Motherhood is not only about giving birth — it is also about nurturing, encouraging, sacrificing, and believing in a child’s potential. Today we honor every mother by birth, every sponsor by heart, and every act of love that helps a child thrive.
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Songea’s Kids. ❤️
