ABOUT ME

Teach, Learn, Share

We know Swahili and would love to teach it if someone is interested! We also know how to cook East African meals and would be happy to make dinner and share our recipes. Elan also loves to play music (especially the piano) and would be happy to teach anyone who wants to learn or to collaborate with others who play music!
