8.       Why Do We Need Volunteers?
Without you, there would be no (SWIWSCO)
a)       (SWIWSCO)  is one of the ONLY non-government organizations (NGO) that work directly with our project, we are not an umbrella organization and we run 100% by board members with help and support of volunteers.  We work hard to keep its costs and its fees as low as possible.  Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization for 2 key reasons.  First of all, we need volunteers to teach the classes and empower people who are in need in our community.  There’s nothing worse than a well-meaning volunteer leaving the project without anyone to take up their good work.  If we don’t have volunteers, we have no choice but to close the organization, with a consistent supply of volunteers, we can ensure education for disadvantaged women, orphans, a street and vulnerable child’s in Tanzania moves ahead without interruption.
b)       The second reason is that (SWIWSCO) budget is comprised solely of volunteer fees and donations.  For some people, it may seem strange that you have to pay money when you are already donating your time.  Since we are a small organization, volunteer fees account for the majority of our working budget. Our budget has to cover the operation of the adult, children and women projects, providing Security, accommodation, visas class (C) Working permit, transportation and local food to volunteers more, It is important for you to know that 100% of your volunteer fee (and every donation we receive) goes to running the projects, (SWIWSCO) is unique in this regard.

About the Area:-

Welcome to Moshi, Tanzania

Tanzania is located in East Africa and borders Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the south.  It is the largest country in East Africa (943,000 sq km), comprising both the mainland and the Zanzibar Archipelago. A large central plateau makes up most of the mainland (at between 900m and 1800m) and the mountain ranges of the Eastern Arc and the Southern and Northern Highlands cut across the country to form part of the Great Rift Valley. A land of geographical extremes, Tanzania has the highest peak – Mt. Kilimanjaro, the lowest point – the lakebed of Lake Tanganyika, and the largest lake – Lake Victoria, on the African continent.  Tanzania is a young but stable democracy and one of the safest countries in Africa.  It was recently named in Lonely Planet’s Top 10 Countries for Travel in 2011 based on scores for topicality, excitement, value for money, and “that special X-factor.”

Moshi:-

 

Moshi town is located at the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. Moshi is home to the Chagga, Pare and Maasai tribes and is comprised of approximately 150,000 people. The nearest airport is Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), about 40 minutes driving away. The nearest large city is Arusha, approximately 1.5 hours by bus.  Moshi has a downtown area (about 20 minutes walk from where the volunteers live) with many shops, restaurants, banks, and bars.  There are many neighbourhoods in Moshi.  The volunteer house, SWIWSCO HQ, and orphanage are at (SOWETO) Moshi town, which is a very safe and beautiful area.

How to get here:-

There are several ways that volunteers come to Moshi:
  • Kilimanjaro International Airport - Several international airlines fly into the Kilimanjaro airport including Swiss, KLM, and Air France.  A member of (SWIWSCO) will meet you at KIA.
  • Dar es Salaam – Dar is the capital city of Tanzania and almost every international airline offers flights here.  After landing, you arrange to take a local bus to Moshi.  There are many bus companies that make the trip and buses leave very frequently from the main bus station Ubungo.  The most comfortable tourist buses are Dar Express and Scandinavia Express.  A bus ticket is easily purchased on site once you arrive and the trip to Moshi takes approximately 8 hours.  When arriving this way, a member of (SWIWSCO) will meet you at the Moshi bus station.
  • Nairobi - Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya and almost every international airline offers flights here.  After landing, you arrange to take a local bus to Moshi.  There are many bus companies that make the trip and buses leave fairly frequently from the main bus station.  The most comfortable tourist bus is Scandinavia Express and Impala shuttle bus.  A bus ticket is easily purchased on site once you arrive and the trip to Moshi takes approximately 7-8 hours.  When arriving this way, a member of (SWIWSCO) will meet you at the Moshi bus station.
Flight prices vary based on airline, destination, and time of year so it is worth doing some research in advance.

Costs:-

The currency in Tanzania is the Tanzanian Shilling (TSH).  In general people find costs in Moshi quite low, although foreign items (pasta sauce, shampoo, cereal, etc.) are more expensive.  To give you a sense of everyday costs in Moshi, here are some examples of things you might buy:
  • 1L Milk – 2,500 Tsh
  • Bread – 1,000 Tsh
  • Cheese – 5,000 Tsh

(SWIWSCO) is one of the ONLY non-government organizations that are run 100% by board members and volunteers, enabling 100% of all donations to go directly to our program for women and children’s.  We believe so strongly in the cause that the only paid staff we have is our local Tanzanian staffs,
Why Pay to Volunteer?
SWIWSCO’s budget is comprised solely of volunteer fees and donations.  For some people, it may seem strange that you have to pay money when you are already donating your time.  Since we are a small organization, volunteer fees account for the majority of our working budget. Our budget has to cover the operation of orphanage and women projects, we also providing security, accommodation, visas and food to volunteers.  It is important for you to know that 100% of your volunteer fee (and every donation we receive) goes to running (SWIWSCO) projects.

Volunteers Compound/Residence/Hostels: -
                      

What to Bring:-

Packing is part of the experience!

Packing for your time in another country can be challenging.  Tanzania is a hot, tropical country with two Wet Seasons and two Dry Seasons.  However, the weather in Moshi can change at any time so it’s best to be prepared.

Dress code:-

Please note that Tanzania is a very modest culture when it comes to physical dress.  It is important that you dress appropriately so that you do not offend the local people. We want our volunteers to adhere to native cultural standards and to respect the Tanzanian way of dress as we are their guests.
Women:-
Whatever you wear on the bottom must go below the knee.  Skirts are a staple item for your wardrobe and pants/Capri is appropriate as well.  Shorts are not acceptable at school or in town (but may be worn in the volunteer house).  Your tops should be modest and must cover your shoulders.  Tank tops are becoming more acceptable for foreigners to wear around town but cannot be worn during any of our programs.   Please dress modestly and conservatively.  You represent your home country and Western society and we want to discourage the local view that Western women are “strong but loose.”   We appreciate your cooperation.

Men: -
Your daily attire will consist of long pants and t-shirts or button-up shirts.  All shirts must have sleeves.  Longer shorts are acceptable around town for foreigners but local men would never wear them.
Swimming: -
Western style bathing suits are acceptable in Zanzibar since most of the beaches are private and cater to tourists.  However, when women go swimming at the local YMCA they must wear a t-shirt and shorts over top of bathing suits.  Bikinis’ may be worn at pools at private hotels.  Swimming in local rivers is discouraged due to various parasites living in the water.

Shoes: -
Flip flops and closed shoes are both useful.  Keep in mind that most of the roads are very dusty (dry season) or muddy (rainy season) so don’t bring your new pair of white sneakers.

 Traveling in Tanzania: -

A wonderful country to explore

Tanzania is one of the most visited countries in Africa, and with good reason!  It is a beautiful, stable, and relatively safe country with fantastic things to see and do, along with some of the friendliest people you will meet.  Lonely Planet recently listed Tanzania in its Top 10 Countries for Travel in 2011 based on scores for topicality, excitement, value for money, and “that special X-factor.”  There are many activities that (SWIWSCO) volunteers take advantage of while staying in Moshi.

Go on a Safari: -

The Serengeti National Park has East Africa’s finest game areas and is one of the world’s best game parks.  It is home to approximately 500 bird species and 70 types of mammals, including the “Big Five” – rhinoceros, lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo.  This high diversity in terms of species is a function of diverse habitats ranging from riverine forests, swamps, kopjes (rock hills/small Mountains), woodlands, and vast grasslands.  The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world each October, which is one of the ten natural travel wonders of the world.  It is also home to the Maasai tribe.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater and Olduvai Gorge.  It adjoins the Serengeti National Park.  The Ngorongoro Crater is a 260 km2 (100 m2) unbroken, unfolded volcanic caldera that acts as “a natural enclosure” for a very wide variety of wildlife.  It is home to a population of approximately 25,000 large animals, with reputedly the highest density of mammalian predators in Africa and the densest known population of lions.  Here you are likely to see wildebeest, zebra, eland, Grant’s gazelles, Thompson’s gazelles, elephants, buffalo, hyenas, jackals, mountain reedbuck, leopards, and, if you’re lucky, the rare black rhinoceros.  The Crater is also home to the “Big Five.”  The Olduvai Gorge is considered “the seat of humanity” after the discovery of the earliest known specimens of the human genus.  It is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world and research there has been instrumental in furthering understanding of early human evolution.  Excavation work in the Gorge was pioneered by Mary and Louis Leakey in the 1950s and is continued today by their family.
Lake Manyara, said by Ernest Hemingway to be the “loveliest [lake] … in Africa,” is also a National Park that is the home of a diverse set of landscapes and wildlife.  This park can be visited in half a day and people come to see the lake, baboons, elephants, hippos, impalas, wildebeest, buffalo, warthogs, giraffes, giant fig trees, mahogany, and many types of birds.  The Rift Valley Escarpment provides a spectacular backdrop to Lake Manyara.
Many of (SWIWSCO) volunteers do a 2-3 days safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire national park on a weekend, while others do a 5-7 day safari (including the Serengeti) at the beginning or end of their time with the organization.  Safaris are easily organized from Moshi.

Visit Zanzibar: -  

Zanzibar is a world-famous island located in the Indian Ocean, about 25 miles off the Tanzanian mainland coast, and 6° south of the equator.  It has a fascinating history, including at least 50,000 years of human occupation.  Zanzibar was settled and used as a strategic trading port by Persian traders.  Zanzibar has seen Arab, Portuguese, Omani, and British occupations.  Its historic centre, known as Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site.
Go on a Spice Tour, see the rare Red Columbus monkey, wander in the magical labyrinth of Stone Town’s winding streets, watch the sun set into the ocean with a cocktail at Livingstone’s, or relax on one of the beautiful sandy beaches and go snorkeling to the coral reefs.  Being near to the equator, the islands are warm all year round.  Many of SWIWSCO’s volunteers fly from Kilimanjaro International Airport directly to Zanzibar to enjoy a weekend in a tropical paradise.  For volunteers with more time, you can travel to Dar es Salaam and take a boat to the island.
(SWIWSCO) also has a booth at Sauti Za Busara – an African music festival that is held every year in February.  This wonderful festival is held within the walls of the Old Fort in Stone Town and features acts from all over the continent.  It is a cultural experience you will never forget.  If you enjoy African music and your schedule is flexible,

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro: -

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest freestanding mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa.  It stands 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) above sea level and is fourth highest of the Seven Summits.  Thousands of people climb the mountain each year, though you shouldn’t underestimate its challenges.  The altitude, low temperature, and occasional high winds make this a difficult and dangerous trek – not everyone makes it to the Uhuru summit.  Volunteers who wish to climb Kilimanjaro are advised to undertake appropriate research and ensure that they are both properly equipped and physically capable to do so.
There are six official climbing routes by which to climb Mt Kilimanjaro: Marangu, Rongai, Lemosho, Shira, Umbwe, and Machame.  The routes range from 5 to 10 days of climbing, though a minimum of 6 days is recommended to allow your body to adjust to altitude as you climb.  Acclimatisation is essential and most people experience some element(s) of altitude sickness.
Many (SWIWSCO) volunteers have climbed “Kill” and found it to be a rewarding experience.  You can arrange a climbing trip at the beginning or end of your time with the organization.  Climbs are easily organized from Moshi and there are discounts for using the same company for a Kili climb and a safari.  You can bring your own gear from home or rent it from your tour company or the many climbing shops in Moshi.

Visit the Usambara Mountains: -

The Usambara Mountains are a lovely break from the heat of Moshi.  With cooler climates, winding paths, gorgeous vistas, and picturesque villages, they are a wonderful place to spend the weekend.  Lushoto, a leafy highland town, is the place to base you to enjoy the local culture and to take hikes into the surrounding hills.  The Usambaras are unique within East Africa because they are covered in tropical forest.  Hiking is relatively easy but beautiful and the local villages are really interesting.  It’s an area that not as many tourists visit.  Volunteers at (SWIWSCO) can go easily for a weekend visit as Lushoto is approximately 4 hours from Moshi by bus.
Mount Meru: -             
Mount Meru is an active stratovolcano located 70 kilometers (43 mi) west of Mount Kilimanjaro in the nation of Tanzania. At a height of 4,566 meters (14,980 ft), it is visible from Mt Kilimanjaro on a clear day [3], and is the tenth highest mountain in Africa. Much of its bulk was lost about 8,000 years ago due to an eastward volcanic blast, similar to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the U.S. state of Washington. Mount Meru most recently had a minor eruption in 1910[1]. The several small cones and craters seen in the vicinity probably reflect numerous episodes of volcanic activity.
Meru is the topographic centerpiece of Arusha National Park. Its fertile slopes rise above the surrounding savanna and support a forest that hosts diverse wildlife, including nearly 400 species of birds, and also monkeys and leopards, most of SWIWSCO’s volunteers do 4 days hiking mount meru up and down,
At the summit, one can find a two meters high flag of Tanzania in metal and also a milestone in concrete with "Socialist Peak 4562.13M" written.
