Facilitating a workshop with the #History teachers from local schools in Kilwa to learn from each other about the values of #KilwaKisiwani & #SongoMnara WHS was a memorable experience. I thank @SciforAfrica for making this possible. #POSSIBLEAfrica @urithiwetutz @UdsmOfficial @unescodar @chemical_tz @dickybates2 @DonaldHerd3
