From Almoonir Dewji’s blog:
We visited TunaHAKI Centre for Child Development on Friday, December 28. TunaHAKI is a local, arts-based organization that aims to rehabilitate and educate disadvantaged children living on the streets near Mt. Kilimanjaro in the Moshi district of Tanzania. Many of the children are orphans, while others have been neglected by their families who are unable to care for them due to extreme poverty and/or disease.
The TunaHAKI Centre upholds the United Nations Convention of the Rights of Children. The name speaks for itself. In Kiswahili, Tuna Haki means “We have the right.”
The centre is currently houses 30 children – 16 boys and 14 girls ranging in age from 6 years to 16 years. We arranged for each child to receive a back pack with some basic school supplies. In addition to this, we brought along some gently used items that we donated to the centre during our visit.
