You may have noticed that this site has become quieter and quieter in terms of providing news about what Hoja are up to in Songea. However, this doesn't mean that Hoja has been winding down in any way. Just that I've been ridiculously busy with other commitments, and haven't been involved in Hoja so much lately.
Hoja continue to produce excellent exam results for their students, give out microfinance loans so local people can start small businesses to create their own income, and help farmers get the most out of their land.
In fact an important change has been made to Hoja recently. In the UK it's no longer operating as its own charity, but is operating as part of COCO. Don't worry though, Hoja have in practice been operating as part of COCO for years, so this doesn't represent any change in operations. Rather, a bit of housekeeping. It just seemed a bit silly to keep them as separate organisations.
As such, I've done a bit of an edit of some of the content on this site (contact and donation details, mostly). I'm also going to stop pretending that I have time to keep typing out updates on here, when COCO have their own News Page anyway.
You can find out Hoja's news there, as well as all of the other wonderful projects that COCO run. If you ask them nicely, I'm sure they'll even add you to their mailing list.
Next time I make it out to Tanzania, however, I may well post some updates on here of what I've learned. Sadly that won't be all that soon.
