Teaching sewing with Zuwena in Moshi
Brenda Mar 22, 2026

"The program at Give a Heart to Africa is very structured. In November 60 students are interviewed and chosen for the one year program that begins in January. Students are divided into three groups. They rotate through a Business Class one day, English Class the next then two days in Vocational. As volunteers we assist the teachers. Each volunteer brings their own personal touch to the classes. The first 4 to 6 months in vocational are sewing, after that it is bead jewelry making, tie dye, cake making and decoration, soap making type things. I helped in Sewing. Classes are M-T 9am to 1pm. Fridays are a home visit to a student. I loved those visits! I would recommend this volunteer program with my whole heart. I loved being part of it and interacting with such wonderful Tanzania people. The teachers at the school are all former students. Just an absolutely wonderful experience."
