Joseph Baraka Okanda - Best Ever Swahili Teacher and New PEF Law Student

We are saying goodbye to our dear friend, Okanda, as he leaves for Law School...his dream that has become a reality with the help of a PEF loan. With hard work and diligence he was accepted into a very competitive program at the University of Dodoma which is about 300 miles west of Dar. Okanda has been the Swahili tutor for all of us Dar Zone missionaries since we arrived. He has served faithfully for several years as the Chang'ombe Branch Elder's Quorum President and has completed and excelled in the conducting and keyboard courses we taught. He is an exceptional young man and he will be missed by many, especially us! Onward and upward Okanda!!
