In 2011, I travelled to the Sega Secondary school to document the school for Forgirlsake (http://www.forgirlsake.org) and Nurturing Minds in Africa (http://www.nurturingmindsinafrica.org). Both organizations work hard towards creating a happy and healthy world by educating girls.
What I saw there made me smile, an oasis of safety and education that fostered the future leaders of Tanzania. The opportunity to document and promote positive educational stories worldwide has given me a purpose, which I hope to pass a long to everyone who views this collection of images.
