Full-Circle Learning came to Tanzania when Olivia Newcomb, of Hood River Oregon, and Maureen Mungai, of Malaga Spain, raised the funds to train the Tanzania teachers. The training occurred at the Dinka School in the winter of 2016.
Olivia, who grew up as a student of Full-Circle Learning from kindergarten on, especially wanted to bring its benefits to orphans from the Your Sisters project, who attend the school. She collaborated with Full-Circle Learning to enlist the Maureen’s training expertise. As a native Kenyan, Maureen speaks Swahili and also trained many Full-Circle Learning Schools in Lesotho and South Africa. In June, 2016, teachers sent word of their first successful projects. Working with the “Habits of Oneness” module, the teachers had designed lesson plans to introduce the habits of Awareness, Teamwork and Leadership to help students apply integrated education strategies to confront their community challenges. The dung patties were just one of the service initiatives the teachers planned as a result of their training.
