EMI - ELIMU MAZINGIRA IDODI
The Idodi Environmental Center is now Open
On the 27th of October 2007, the Idodi Environmental Center was finally opened. The Honorable Mr. William Likuvi drove through the night from Arusha in order to join us as our official guest for the opening ceremony. He was very impressed and remarked that the Government offices were not as smart or as well equipped !
We were then seated and entertained by the students with songs and plays. The Idodi Primary school did a very amusing skit, a re-enactment of the opening ceremony! A young 9 year old girl dressed up as myself (Sue), and preceded to give a speech that was not only almost word for word what I was going to say in real life but she also managed to get my habit of “umming” and “arring” along the way, everyone found it extremely amusing, especially myself!
Once the official speeches were over Rob and myself were given gifts amidst lots of applause, everyone at the ceremony was then given a sumptuous lunch by the school.
It was a very memorable occasion.
