U.S. Embassy in Tanzania

This is the certificate which the U.S. Ambassador to Tanzania presented to me and Justin Joseph, the headmaster at Banjika, at the Embassy's Check Presentation Ceremony yesterday.



It says:

"U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam 
U.S. Ambassador's
Self Help Grant Award
The United States Embassy has awarded
Tsh 8,600,000 to Powering Potential
to upgrade the solar power system at Banjika Secondary
School. Congratulations and thank you for helping to bring electronic information technology to rural schools."

It is also signed by Ambassador Alfonso E. Lenhardt.






Justine and I had an official photo taken with the Ambassador and there was a group photo of the grantees. We will get those photos in March.

The Embassy forbids guests from bringing cameras on the grounds so we had this photos taken after we got back to the hotel. A very exciting day and an historic one for Powering Potential!
