Andrea Laurita, an American journalist, who now focuses on film and photography, visited True Grasses Tanzania Office and spent one week with us. While visiting, she volunteered her skills, and did some filming and photographing the work of True Grasses.

Her focus was to look at the day to day hardships African village families, especially girls and women go through, looking for water. The film will be used to create awareness and help raise funds to dig a well for the villages of Kisarawe. You can see her work on her FB page. Once the video is available we will share it online on the True Grasses website and invite you to join us to see the lives of girls changed and communities empowered through education.

True Grasses is grateful for the time that Andrea put in to volunteer with us and bring her skills into the project. We hope that her story will encourage some of you to volunteer your time with us (here in Tanzania or at your own home place) with the skills that you have. Want to find out more about volunteering, don’t hesitate to email us, or look at what you can do.
