About

When I become a pilot, I will learn about airplane transport. Then I will open a plane company. In that business, I will be able to provide planes that work and earn money. I will help my family. My company will bring tourists from other countries to visit places in Tanzania so that the national parks and tourism will produce foreign currency for my country. I'll need to continue studying hard to get a good education. I want to be able to help my family. My father's legs are paralyzed and my mother works hard to earn money to take care of our basic needs.

Hello brother Jonathan
It is my hope you are still doing fine,but today i want to share with you on some WISE WORDS which i like also.

The difference between school and life?
In school, you are taught and then given a test. While in life you are given a test that teaches you a lesson.

I am strong because i know my weakness.
I am fearless because i learnt to recognise, illusion from real,
I am wise because i learn from my mistakes,
I can laugh because i have known sadness.

For today that is all because i don't have many to write to you, i promise next time to have more so that we will share well.

*****HAVE A NICE WEEKEND******
Hello madam Judy
How are you, It is another new day i get a chance to share with you something.
Today I want to share with you on NATURAL DISASTER.A 'natural disaster' is a major event resulting from natural processes of the Earth. It causes a great loss of life and property. During such disasters, the number of people who are rendered, trippled and houseless is more than the number of people who loose their lives. Even the economy of the place which faces a natural disaster, gets effected.

It is true that a natural disaster is a natural process and we cannot stop it but by making certain preparations, we can reduce the magnitude of the loss to life and property. First of all we should reduce global warming which is the root cause of all the problems. We should also have insurance policies so that we could have sufficient money to rebuilt our lives after any such disaster. The scientists should invent advance warning systems. While construction we should make sure that it is strong enough to withstand earthquakes. We should educate people about evacuation during any disaster.

Hence, by taking some precautions we can cape with the natural disasters. So that is a little about natural disaster that i can share with you.

Apart from all I wish God Blesses to you.
Hello Brother Jonathan
Thank for your post with many words of wisdom, I don't know many of them but at least these I can write to you.
First is knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
Second is knowledge is knowing what to say, but wisdom is knowing when to say it.
Third is knowledge comes from learning, but wisdom comes from living.
Fourth is the one who falls and gets up is so much stronger than the one who never fell.
Last is the disadvantage of becoming wise is when you realize how foolish you have been. Those are few which I know, have nice days.
Dear Students,

I love to collect wisdom from different sources that are meaningful to me.
Below are a few of my favorites that I would like to share with you:

1) When you master your emotions, you master your life
Anger. This is one emotion that is sure to pop up sometime during the day. How you deal with your anger says a lot about who you are as a person. How well do you manage your emotions? Do you have a harsh reaction if someone says something insulting to you? Anger can be a destructive emotion if not managed properly.

2) Respect other people’s opinions even when they differ from your own.

Conflict. It’s rare that two people agree on most topics. Conflict is everywhere. It happens at work, home, with family and friends. Disagreeing isn’t the problem (although most people think it is). The problem is not giving value to the opinions of others.

3) Experience The Joy Of Learning
Each time you learn something new you gain more knowledge and with more knowledge come more confidence. Learning helps us become more adaptable and flexible to new situations. Learning encourages us to be more creative and innovative in our thinking and we are therefore more comfortable with the unknown.
Reading books is a great way for us to learn. To fully embrace the joy of learning, never stop reading and searching for more knowledge.

4) Touch someone’s soul with your kindness
Random Acts of Kindness. It’s the little things in life that matter most. Hold a door, smile at people. Kindness does not cost much and it touches the soul of another person.

5) Speech is a powerful tool.
Your words. Watch your words carefully. They can be daggers or building blocks. You can crush the spirit of someone or make them feel like they can conquer the world. Taste your words before you spit them out. Words are your thoughts coming to life. It’s your choice.

What are your favorite quotes and wisdom to live by? I’d love to hear your thought on that.
Cheers,
Jonathan Gilbert
Hello madam Judy
How are you till now today i want to share with you about TECHNOLOGY.Technology is now a big part of our society and our foreseeable future. There is little room for people that wish to live without technology, and luckily, it is still advancing at a rate that has helped stave off stagnation. Here I analyze the advantages and disadvantages of technology
Thesis statement
I believe that for every advantage that technology brings us, it also brings us a disadvantage at the same time.
Analysis of cars on our roads
Cars and other vehicles are now readily available and are technologically advanced enough to be safe for use every day and to work as a reliable tool for getting people and goods from one place to another in a relatively short space of time.
The advantages of cars are that they are safe and that people can get to very specific places as per their own timeline. People do not have to rely on trains or planes in order to get to where they want to go, and they can set off at their own time and arrive when they wish without having to work around a train or plane schedule.
The disadvantage is that all forms of vehicle on our roads are polluting the atmosphere and are slowly killing the earth by adding to greenhouse gasses that do not allow the sun’s heat to escape. Even electric cars are powered by electricity generated by fossil fuels. Car accidents are also a very big killer worldwide and many lives have been lost because of car accidents/incidents.
Analysis of Smartphones
They allow people to stay in touch, even over long distances, and they are relatively safe and reliable to use. There are devices that can communicate with plus at the other end of the planet and getting and keeping in touch with other people is very easy.
The disadvantages to this is that it means people no longer need to meet in person as much, and interpersonal relationships are suffering worldwide because people are communicating through a small handheld device. Lots of people have Smartphones and they use them almost semi-continuously, including in public settings when they could be making new friends, finding new lovers, and talking/interacting with their current friends.

Analysis – Fast and efficient Internet access
The advantages are that people can communicate over vast distances and can gain access to information and answers to their questions very quickly. The disadvantage is that the Internet isn’t moderated in the way that people think and a lot of it is filled with misinformation and outright lies.
Even brand-named websites that have a lot of trust are not accountable for what appears on their own websites. Even respected and branded news sites have stories that have passed through many people’s hands and originally started as lies with zero accountability throughout the dissemination process. For example, that is why so many celebrities have been reported as dead on news sites when they were actually alive.
From my explanation i conclude that;
My analysis proves that technology is a good thing, and that is has its advantages, but that with each technological element we gain disadvantages as well as advantages, and many times those disadvantages are overlooked by technology users.
Hello madam Judy
It has been a little long since I wrote you a journal,together with all i hope you're doing fine with due to well arriving there in US.Today i want to share with you about AFRICAN PENGUIN.African penguin also known as the BLACK FOOTED PENGUIN(formerly as THE JACKAS PENGUIN.
They are found on the south western coast of Africa.Their behaviour include that
*They breed throughout the year,
-The main breeding season starting in February.
*Female lay two eggs with an incubation period of 38-42days
*They are MONOGAMOUS species and the lifelong partners take turns to incubate their eggs and feeding their young.
*Their diet include small fish such as pilchards,sardines.anchovies,small crustaceans etc.
*African penguin live in colonies and have an average lifespan of 10 years
*Female reach sexual maturity at the age of 4 years,and males at the age of 5 years
*The scientific name of penguin is SPHENISCUS DEMERSUS.
*Their predator in the ocean include sharks,cape fur seals and killer whales(ORCA)
-Land based enemies include mongoose,Genet,domestic cats and dogs.
That was little explanation on AFRICAN PENGUIN that i put efforts on it to find in order to share with you today.And this is the image of that AFRICAN PENGUIN.
Hello students,

I finally got back to the US last week.
It has been a very long trip to Tanzania this year total three weeks.

I was very happy to meet all of you and know everyone better.

My trip started from Karatu. I visited 5 schools in Karatu and I learn where do you go to school every day.

I am very happy to know all of you are doing well and every of you has a dream that you want to be successful one day. I encourage all of you to try your best to reach you own destination.

The get together was so well prepared and done by each of you. I am very happy to saw all your science presentations and poems you wrote to TSF and me. I will treasure them all my life.

I can say I am very proud to all of you. Keep up the good work I want to see each of you one day get to
good University/College to reach your own dream.

After Karatu, I went to ARUSHA attended the TED Global conference and visited couple schools in ARUSHA.
I enjoyed the TED conference this year. It was focused on the Africa, specially in agriculture, health and education.

Mr. Amos was a volunteer there, he had great experience being this Global conference and met people from around the world.
He had a life experience at the conference, where he was able to meet a group of bright inventive and talented group of people.

Later I went to Iringa. Iringa almost the second hometown for me. I have been there six times.
I visited all 8 schools in Iringa and meet all of you in person. I was very happy to meet you.

I had a great time at the get together party. All of you did a wonderful presentation. I am very happy to know all of you had fun that night.

My this year Tanzania trip was set MMM computer center for most of the 13 TSF schools.
At Iringa, We build total 5 new computer center in Iringa girls, Klerruu, Lugalo, Ebenezer, Miyomgoni and Update one MMM center at Ummusalama. We build one new computer center at Karatu Secondary School and update one MMM center at Ganako.

I am very proud of building the MMM computer center in most of the TSF schools. I really want all of you to go to the computer center to learn every subject you are interested from the RACHEL PLUS.
In the future everyone work will be on the computer. I hope that every single of you tell me what do you learn from the RACHEL PLUS.
I would like you could to start the debate team in your school so you all could practice how to speak in the public. Have the Math Club and challenge each other on the Math.

They will all benefit your long-term confidence.

I hope I will hear from all of you soon.
Hello Karen
It has been long since i wrote a post to you,but today i ant to share with you about ANCIENT GREEK.
Ancient Greece was a Greek civilization belonging to a period of Greek history that lasted from the Archaic period of the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the end of antiquity (ca. 600 AD). Immediately following this period was the beginning of the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine era. Included in Ancient Greece is the period of Classical Greece, which flourished during the 5th to 4th centuries BC. Classical Greece began with the repelling of a Persian invasion by Athenian leadership. Because of conquests by Alexander the Great, Hellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea.

Classical Greek culture, especially philosophy, had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean region and Europe, for which reason Classical Greece is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of modern Western culture.
Waiting hearing from you soon as you read this,have a nice weekend.So this is the ancient greece i talked about.
Hello madam Judy
It is my hope you are doing fine with everything,today i want to share with you about the type of plane called AIRSHIP
An airship or dirigible is a type of aerostat or lighter-than-air aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air using rudders and propellers or other thrust mechanisms. Unlike aerodynamic aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, which produce lift by moving a wing through the air, aerostatic aircraft stay aloft by having a large "envelope" filled with a gas which is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere. The first lifting gas used was hydrogen, although this had well-known concerns over its flammability. Helium was rare in most parts of the world, but large amounts were discovered in the USA. This meant that this non-flammable gas was rarely used for airships outside of the USA. All modern airships, since the 1960s, use helium.

The main types of airship are non-rigid (or blimps), semi-rigid and rigid. Blimps are "pressure" airships where internal pressure, maintained by forcing air into an internal ballonet, is used to both maintain the shape of the airship and its structural integrity. Semi-rigid airships maintain the envelope shape by internal pressure, but have some form of internal support such as a fixed keel to which control and engine gondolas and stabilizers and steering surfaces are mounted. Rigid airships have a structural framework which maintain the shape and carries all loads such as from gondolas, engines. The framework contains numerous balloons, known as "gas cells" or "gasbags" which supply the static lift without having to bear any structural loading. Rigid airships are often called Zeppelins, as the type was invented by Count Zeppelin and the vast majority of rigid airships built were manufactured by the firm he founded.
Airships were the first aircraft to enable controlled, powered flight, and were widely used before the 1940s, but their use decreased over time as their capabilities were surpassed by those of aeroplanes. Their decline continued with a series of high-profile accidents, including the 1937 burning of the hydrogen-filled Hindenburg, and the destruction of the USS Akron. Airships are still used today in certain niche applications, such as advertising, freight transportation, tourism, camera platforms for sporting events, geological surveys, aerial observation and interdiction platforms, where the ability to hover in one place for an extended
period outweighs the need for speed and maneuverability.
For today that's all i want to tell you,like before i continue wish much blessing from GOD.
This is the AIRSHIP i was trying to give you its explanation.
Hello madam Judy

I am looking forward to seeing you all.

Have fun and stay focuse! Best wish for all of you!
Hello madam Judy
It's my hope that you are doing fine with everything especially your health.Simply today I want to share with you about environmental polllution.Environmental pollution is the process by which environment is being affected by wastes.There are four types of pollution which are soil pollution,air pollution,land pollution and also water pollution.As the environment is being affected also humans and their activities are affected so as for environment to escape from this,I think there must be proper management of wastes which is a major factor of environmental pollution.For today thats all.

Hello madam Judy
How are you,as I know you will have a journey to our Tanzania.Me,here in Tanzania I'm fine with everything include my studies.Today i want to share with you about ROCK.
In geology, rock is a naturally occurring aggregate of minerals and/or mineraloids. The Earth's lithosphere is made of rock. In general rocks are of three types, namely, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Petrology is the scientific study of rocks.
Rock classification
The rocky side of a mountain creek near Orosí, Costa Rica.

Rocks are classified by mineral and chemical composition, by the texture of the constituent particles and by the processes that formed them. These indicators separate rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. They are further classified according to particle size. The transformation of one rock type to another is described by the geological model called the rock cycle.

Igneous rocks are formed when molten magma cools and are divided into two main categories: plutonic rock and volcanic. Plutonic or intrusive rocks result when magma cools and crystallizes slowly within the Earth's crust (example granite), while volcanic or extrusive rocks result from magma reaching the surface either as lava or fragmental ejecta (examples pumice and basalt) .

Sedimentary rocks are formed by deposition of either clastic sediments, organic matter, or chemical precipitates ( evaporites), followed by compaction of the particulate matter and cementation during diagenesis. Sedimentary rocks form at or near the Earth's surface. Mud rocks comprise 65% ( mudstone, shale and siltstone); sandstones 20 to 25% and carbonate rocks 10 to 15% ( limestone and dolostone).

Metamorphic rocks are formed by subjecting any rock type (including previously-formed metamorphic rock) to different temperature and pressure conditions than those in which the original rock was formed. These temperatures and pressures are always higher than those at the Earth's surface and must be sufficiently high so as to change the original minerals into other mineral types or else into other forms of the same minerals.That is the explanation of rock from what i read.
Have good health till you arrive at Tanzania
Hello Anthony
It is nice to share with you something.Today I will share about CONTACT BETWEEN AFRICANS AND PEOPLE FROM ASIA.During pre colonialism African people were enter into contact with people from middle and far east in Asia,this contact was dated back early in 200BC.
These people from middle and far east were traveling towards Africa by using monsoon wind,these were coming to Africa for some reasons,motive or I can say aims which are;
Traders wanted to trade and control all commercial activities along African coast.
Second is they need to spread Islamic religion in African societies.
Also they were searching for an area for market to supply and sell their commodities.
Other visitors were in searching of peaceful area to settle for along time.
Lastly is they were searching for natural resources.Finally i saw in this contact the one who was getting benefit was Asian people because even in exchanging of goods Asian people were exchanging small things with useful resources example exchange dagger with ivory.So that is what I wanted to share with you today.
Waiting hearing from you how you look on this sharing,Have nice days.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.
