Meeting with minister of state Katja Keul

A highlight of the project was the invitation to a commemorative event on March 2, 2024 in Moshi to mark the day of the execution of Mangi Meli, a chief of the Chagga tribe, by German colonial officers. At this meeting, which was attended by Katja Keul, Minister of State at the Federal Foreign Office, our German and Tanzanian pupils gave a very convincing presentation of our history project and made remarkable contributions in the subsequent discussion.

Changes in our Administration Team

Mr. Hassan Said Mtango offered to step down as Headmaster and continue working as a teacher at One World School, which was accepted. He wants to spend more time with his family Our previous Second Master Issack Julius Msoffe was appointed as his successor. He was replaced by Madam Sanifa Shabani Iddi, who is now our new Second Mistress. Together with our Head of Finance, Madam Hyasinta Festus Selele, and our Assistant Director, Manuel Festus Selele, we now have a management team with whom the management of the school will continue to be in good hands in the interests of sustainability. I myself will remain Managing Director of the school for the time being to oversee the changes.

Advanced level students moved into their new dormitory

After the start of construction at the beginning of this year and some delays due to heavy rains, the new boarding school building for upper school boys is now completely finished and the young people have moved in. It consists of smaller rooms in which mostly three students live. They like this very much and feel extremely comfortable in the new accommodation. This is also due to the large shaded courtyard and the common room, where they can meet, study together and talk about anything.

Our big thanks go to the Schmitz Foundation, which financed 75% of the building as part of the project “Creating a conducive learning environment for the students of One World Secondary School Kilimanjaro”. Furthermore, a big thank you goes to Mr. Manuel F. Selele, who was responsible for the construction and very wisely and prudently found super solutions for all difficulties.

New Oven built by our volunteers

Our volunteers Simon and Leila started to build an oven to help the cooks baking our daily scones. Now it is under a roof and the cooks will not get wet in rain season. The first proof was a cake for our students and it was delicious!
