Tony Mortimer - personal statement

Visiting Morogoro, Tanzania in 2012 was for me a truly inspirational experience. We met with such hospitality and warmth from a people who, in many cases, have little but are very willing to share with friends what they do have. Our visit brought home to me the unfairness of a world where simply being born into such an economically deprived part of the world has left people without access to even the basics of life in food and water, healthcare and education. We have been able in some small but important ways help people to improve their own situations. I feel passionate about the work Mission Morogoro is doing to work with our friends in Tunguli to bring about sustainable improvements to their lives particularly in the areas of Health, Education and Economic Development.
