It was 2008 when my parents asked me to live in UAACC. At that time I was 5 years old. I did not know how to talk I was very scared. But after few days I captured the environment over there in UAACC. In UAACC I lived with other people but always my fellow leaders of tomorrow.
In 2017 I was in from 1 at ngongongare secondary school. In from ii I done my national examination and I got division I when. I entered form iii. UAACC and friends of UAACC decided to shift me to another school known as renea girls secondary school at njiro.
Visiting with the children on two of our trips to Tanzania made our trips complete. One would think the safaris, wild animals, or the food would be top on the list, but, it’s not. The graciousness of our host, whom I respectfully call “Mr. Pete,” and his wife,
Mama Kay asked us to share our words about our experience from the time we lived at the Leaders of Tomorrow Children’s Home. These are my words.
I have traveled with Safari Kay to Tanzania on “2” of her journeys. The animals were incredible but the CHILDREN of the Leaders of Tomorrow Children’s Home was the highlight of both my incredible experiences.
When my husband and I entered the school compound, we saw colorful murals painted on many of the buildings. These buildings housed dormitories, workshops, common areas, and classrooms. Shade trees and flowering bushes created a cool canopy from the warm weather.
At Pete’s school there is a small number of staff. One young woman Mwajabu, helped herd the children to Pete’s apartment to listen to his story with us (his guests).
My experience at UAACC was amazing. It has been nearly 6 years since I’ve traveled to Tanzania, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Listening to the stories of Pete O’Neal is like none other.
My name is Millie. My first trip to Tanzania was in February, 2013 and Safari Kay included a visit to UAACC. All of Kay’s guests brought suitcases full of clothes, books, toys and medicine for Pete, Charlotte and the children.
My friend and I had been taking trips (mostly in the U.S.) together for over 10 years when she stumbled upon Safari Kay’s “Make a Difference” trip to Tanzania.
My name is Carmelo. I try to go on the Make A Difference Safari along with my wife, Lauren, every year, if possible. So far, so good!
My sister Janet and I had a wonderful time visiting the children at the school. It was so rewarding to see your (Kay’s) efforts are truly paying off for the children. They have a very nice classroom for their lessons and to learn life skills.
Where do I even begin? The prospect of being able to go visit and hang out with this group of kids was overwhelming. I knew I would instantly fall in love, and some friends even joked, “You’re not bringing kids home with you, are you?”
As I reflect on my journey to Tanzania, I can honestly say it was life changing on so many levels that it is almost a challenge to put it into words. From the moment we landed and deplaned onto the tarmac, I was in a brand-new world.
My name is Marsha Tyler, and I unfortunately have not had the opportunity to attend a Make A Difference, but I have met Pete, Charlotte, and the kids on one of my safari trips with Safari Kay. We didn’t spend much time there, but I was so touched by the kids and the efforts of Pete’s and Charlotte’s Leaders of Tomorrow program.
I always knew I wanted to go on a safari but when I heard about the “make a difference safari” I knew it would be an even more meaningful experience!
