Built schools in Tanzania.

Teach, Learn, Share

Depends on what you already know. Maybe I can teach Swahili, Spanish or English, how to play guitar or other instruments, how to make awesome guacamole, how to open a bottle with anything, how to start a fire with only a piece of wood and a shoe string...Who knows? Once we meet we will learn what we can teach each other.
