Posted project update #29A note to our international backers
Post CommentYour rewards are on their way! We had a delay with shipping these rewards internationally because of the additional customs paperwork that has to be filled out. Don't worry, you'll get them soon!
Thanks for your patience.

Posted project update #27Interview with Vijana FM and Mobile Money Contributions
Post CommentToday Rebecca’s interview with Vijana FM went live on their website. Vijana FM is a web-based platform meant to encourage dialogue, debate, and education among the youth of East Africa. Their moto is “Soma. Sikiliza. Angalia. Changia.” (in English, Read. Listen. Watch. Contribute.).
Vijana is the Kiswahili word for “youth,” and on the Vijana FM platform, young people can come together to share, exchange, and develop ideas for sustainable development in East Africa. They concentrate especially on sustainable social entrepreneurship and believe that “informal education” (the process of acquiring knowledge through human experience, collaboration, and interaction) is as powerful as institutionalized, formal learning that occurs in more structured environments.
To read the interview, go here. There are also some beautiful photos by Jonathan Kalan included in the interview.
For those of you in East Africa, please help us spread the word about the new way to contribute to the Tanzania Heritage Project: mobile banking! You can "text" us donations.
Our numbers are: Tigo Pesa – 0655 542 939 and Airtel – 0687 542 939. Every bit counts– asenteni!

commented on a project updateHi Charlie, We shot tons of amazing footage when I was there last, but we weren't there with a professional crew-- so hopefully when I'm back to TZ in May, we'll also get some pros out there. We want the DVD to be great! To save on rounds of shipping costs, we hope to ship the remaining rewards out together when they're all ready. We know producing the final CD will take some work, but we believe the wait will be worth it! Thanks for bearing with us as we try to get everything perfect. Rebecca

Posted project update #25What if you hadn't heard the music you love most in decades?
Post CommentYesterday a video of an old man in a nursing home began to go viral on YouTube and I thought it was worth sharing with you. Through your support of our project have shown that you understand the power of music to heal, to renew, and to bring joy... and what a tragedy it would be for any culture to lose the music that helped shape it.
Music inspires. True to the original Latin meaning, it breathes life into us... sometimes even life that appears to have faded.
So watch the video and see what happens when we get cut off from the music we love... and the magic that occurs when it is restored to us!

I first traveled to Tanzania as a volunteer in 2007. As an undergraduate, I wrote a memoir called "Lay Down Your Heart" about my time in East Africa. After graduating from the University of Georgia with degrees in Anthropology and English... view more
cool. Any word on the DVD and the prints?
