The gorgeous view from our balcony

Last week I was in Mwanza, right on the shore of Lake Victoria, for the preparation of our very first arrivals for the new programme!

This was my second trip to Mwanza and it was great to see that the construction of the house had finished on time (phew!), our partner hospitals were getting excited about welcoming international students and Baptista, our country director for Tanzania, had trained up a brand new team of Work the World staff. Leading the programme is James. He joined us in the spring and has been heavily involved in the preparation for the opening and is really excited about the students arriving. He is supported by Diana, our amazing cook and Bosco, our friendly housekeeper!
