  • I am very happy to announce that I have been selected to participate in the Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad in Tanzania with the School for International Training (SIT), ‘Tuko Pamoja: Tanzanian Creativity and Perspectives in an Era of Climate Change’, supported by a grant from the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA), U.S. Department of Education.
