A Standard 6 student looks through a telescope for the first time during a science workshop at Kalinga Primary School in northern Tanzania	Ngongongare head girl - Veronica Andrew and head boy Dickson Girard shared their report about the school that said: "We don't have a laboratory for biology, chemistry, and physics. This is a problem for us to learn science theory without practical experience."


Students enjoy dark sky viewing in Tanzania.	Mponda Malazo, AWB's Tanzanian colleague, teaches students about solar dynamics. Another solar viewing telescope with a sun-funnel will be on its way to Tanzania soon.
