Mme. Maajar is a mining lawyer who presented her credentials to President Obama in 2010. The event was organized by FOT President Patricia Kelley, Secretary Craig Hafner, and members Ana Manega and TEAAer, LeRoy Smith. At the opening reception networking event hosted by the University of Colorado campus in Denver on Sunday afternoon, our colleagues organized a table with TEAA literature, photos, and a brief description of our efforts on behalf of the 15+ schools we support in East Africa. TEAA members (and spouses) Gene Child, Leal and Audrey Dickson, Shelby Lewis, Lee and Lщopoldine Smith, and James and Lorine Williams were present. Gene brought a laptop in order to share his work establishing the Afripad program. When the Ambassador arrived her attention was immediately drawn to the TEAA table behind which was displayed double kangas produced for the occasion of Tanganyika’s Independence in 1961. The kangas had been sent to Lщo Smith by TEAAer Lois Carwile for the event. In her brief opening greetings, Ambassador Maajar—visibly moved by the kangas—explained their special significance in Tanzanian cultures. As she described it, the kanga is a singular offering, given by a husband to his wife, a mother to a daughter, a sister to a sister, etc. on special occasions. We enjoyed chatting with the Ambassador when she visited our table, and took the opportunity to explain who we are and TEAA efforts on behalf of schools in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. In addition, we had ample opportunity to share our story with many of the approximately 100 people in attendance, many as representatives of some 18 NGOs and businesses that had worked in or have an ongoing interest in Tanzania. We TEAAers were invited to be part of the Ambassador's entourage during the next two days as she met with and spoke on "Tanzania’s Legal System and International Law on UN Day" at the University of Denver’s Sturm School of Law, "Tanzania and Mining" at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden (where Shelby, just elected Chair of the Board of the Fulbright International Educational Exchange Program to which TEAAer Betty Castor has recently been appointed by the President, spoke as well), and "Tanzanian Business Opportunities" at the World Trade Center Denver. We were able to share much more of what we do in specific schools in Tanzania informally with Ambassador Maajar and her Public Affairs Counselor, Dr. Switbert Mkama, as we accompanied them on tours of the Denver area. At the final good-bye luncheon Lee presented the Ambassador with the fragile 50 year-old Uhuru kangas on behalf of Lois (who had purchased them in 1961) and all TEAAers to commemorate the official visit to Denver. The Ambassador was surprised and delighted to receive such a rare gift and did so on behalf of her government, promising that it had found its new sheltering home and would be prominently displayed in the Tanzanian Embassy in Washington; but only after she had taken it to Dar es Salaam to show to the people and President on her visit prior to the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of Independence this month.
