Hail to the (Former) Chief

Peace House Academy had another notable visitor today to look at our progress and hear more about our mission here in Tanzania. Scott Augustine, PHF's founder and chairman, is explaining our work to former President Benjamin Mkapa. President Mkapa's administration was instrumental in allocating the land where PHA is located.

It was a proud moment to be able to show him the construction progress and also to share with him more fully and personally our vision for what we hope to accomplish here. Our mission of educating AIDs orphans and establishing opportunities for entreprenuers to develop businesses is one that has generated a lot of interest and has tremendous potential to make a change in so many lives! The day concluded with lunch, which was served by the President and his wife! Truly, Mr. Mkapa's attention to our project is a great blessing!
