So I figured since I'm not 100% sure when the interviews will be, I thought I'd put up some interesting facts I've learned about Tanzania, to keep me consistently posting on this blog!

Hope you enjoy them!

*Tanzania is the largest county in East Africa
*Contains Africa's highest point, Mt. Kilimanjaro
*Tanzania was formed in 1964 when Tanganyika and Zanzibar united
*The life expectancy is the age of 45.
*78% literacy level
*The main language is Swahili though English is widely spoken
*30% of its land is protected through National Parks and Reserves, which is more than anywhere else in Africa
*One of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world, the Serengeti National Park, resides in Tanzania
*The religion is mostly Muslim, Christian, and indigenous beliefs


Hope to report back soon! And hopefully the next post will be me reporting that I'm on the team and will be headed to Tanzania!


love you!
