The First Ladies' Luncheon is Project C.U.R.E.'s largest annual fundraising event. According to Project Cure, due to the generosity of event sponsors (TANAPA and K2 Adventures) every dollar raised from the First Ladies' Luncheon will go directly to delivering desperately needed medical supplies and equipment to hospitals and clinics throughout Tanzania, population 41.8 million. The guest of honor and keynote speaker was Mama Salma Kikwete, the first lady of Tanzania.
Mama Salma Rashid Kikwete is currently the First Lady of the United Republic Of Tanzania. According to her Facebook page - she's the chair of WAMA (Wanawake na Maendeleo), a non- governmental, non-profit organization that she founded in October 2006 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The main goal of the organization is to improve the life standard of women, girls and other vulnerable children through promoting them to access to education, health service: adolescent and sexual reproductive, maternal and infant, and capacity building for economic empowerment. "Mama" is a powerful woman who inspired the overflowing room to give generously to support the goal of delivery medical supplies to Tanzania. As i sat in the luncheon I reflected how some of the best foreign policy remains - meeting the medical, educational, sustainability issues of fellow two leggeds! Northern Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge has provided rich evidence of the area's prehistory, including fossil remains of some of humanity's earliest ancestors.  |
