Tourism season 2013

The tourism season has started, as always July. In tune with it, our CBO office is in full swing with fulltime staff waiting to show you around and guide you to Hadzabe way of life and the beauty of Eyasi valley. 

We have 8 well trained tour guides to take you around. Our office is  conveniently located close to the areas where most of the Mang'ola Hadza are staying.

You are most welcome!

Marehemu Mzee Panda akiwa kwenye ofisi ya CBO siku chache kabla ya mauti yake.

CBO na jumuia nzima kwa ujumla imepata pigo. 

Mzee Yohana Panda, aliyekuwa mwenyekiti wa asasi na jamii kwa ujumla alifariki dunia tar baada ya kuugua kwa muda mrefu. Mzee Panda ndiye aliyekuwa mwenyekiti aliyesimamia na kupambana hadi kufikia mahali CBO ilipo sasa -- kupatikana kwa eneo kwa ajili ya shughuli za asasi, kupatikana kwa jengo la kudumu la ofisi, kusomeshwa kwa vijana wa kiHadzabe ili kufanya shughuli za utalii na kadhalika. Mzee Panda alishughulika bila kuchoka wala kukata tamaa, akitembea na kuzungukia makambi ya Wahadzabe ili kuhamasisha malengo na shughuli mbalimbali za asasi na maendeleo ya jamii hii kwa ujumla. 

Wakati tukimkumbuka mzee wetu huyu na mambo mengi aliyoyafanya ili kusukuma mbele gurudumu la kutaka kuona jamii yetu inapata haki zake na kuthaminiwa, ni wakati muafaka basi kwa sisi tunaobaki kuendeleza yale ambayo mzee Panda alitamani yatokee -- umoja zaidi kati ya wanajamii, mwamko zaidi, na kufanya kazi zaidi ili kuweza kufikia maendeleo yetu kama jamii na kama mtu mmoja mmoja.

Apumzike kwa amani.

Food distribution, March 2013

Food distribution for the month of March was conducted at our newly completed office block. All were happy to see that after many years of hardwork and many challenges they were able to stand in front of a building that they call "theirs".

Office block complete and in use

These pictures were taken late March showing the fundis putting final touches to our new office-cum-tourist information building. The work has been complete and the block is currently in use. 

We are expecting to install solar panels for electricity generation which will allow us to use refrigerator and other electric accessories.
