Geoffrey left Mayega Children’s Centre many moons ago. John and Christine have kept in touch on the phone, and we always meet up when in Mwanza. It is fair to say life hasn’t been easy for Geoffrey, in common with many Tanzanian young people.

But how his life has taken turns for the better. First, he got a sales job for the telecommunications company, Halotel, becoming a top performer in 2023, and he should be promoted to team leader later this year.

He also plays centre back for the Halotel staff football team. On the day of the photo, they beat the Mwanza College of Business and Education. A promotional match advertising Halotel products for university students

The biggest news, however, is the birth of baby Grayson last December. A smiley, friendly little boy. Many congratulations to Geoffrey and Catherine. Our family man has come a long way since Mayega. A lovely partner and a wee one to be proud of!
