5th September 2014
Hello and welcome to Testigo Africa's latest newsletter!
It's been a busy year for Testigo, with permaculture projects running in multiple Tanzanian villages and a continuous stream of meetings and media appointments here in Australia.
Tanzanian Masai Emanuel Saakai has been visiting Australia and has given some inspiring talks to audiences at Telstra's head office as well as various schools, football clubs and Probus groups. If you're interested in having Emanuel speak at your group to assist with Testigo's fundraising, please get in contact so we can schedule a visit when he next returns to Australia.

For the 5th year running, Testigo is proud to release its 2015 desktop calendar! The images feature local personalities from the villages which you and Testigo have helped to support.

Testigo Fundraiser
Sian Richards, a great supporter of Testigo, is very kindly opening up her parents home to an evening of good food and live music to support our continued work in Africa - and we'd like you to come! The evening will be a great opportunity to meet fellow Testigo supporters, purchase Masai made jewelry and Australian made chutney and hear from Testigo founder Tracey and country manager Emanuel on Testigo's current status and future direction. There will also be a pre-loved books and clothing sale (so please bring some along!).
Date: 8th of November
Time: 4pm till late
Cost: $10 (including dinner)
Address: 49 Dunkeith Ave, Jan Juc
Our Permaculture Video
To give you an even better idea of the work we are doing in Tanzania, we have prepared a short video about our permaculture projects. Featuring commentary from project leaders, participants and beneficiaries, the film is a window into the impact we are making through our work. So take 5 minutes out of your day to let us show you what we do!
That's all for now, thanks to everyone for your continued support!
