UROJO

Have you ever heard this word “Urojo” if not, keep on reading you will find out what it means. Urojo is favorite delicious among the Zanzibar’s. It is a kind of food whereby people like it as a main food. Urojo is a mixture of potatoes, barbeques, ‘badia’ and ‘kachori’, cassava crips which is thin and long plus salad. Some people add pepper and ‘embe’ or ‘ukwaju’ to make it have more flavors. In the mixture there is also porridge like liquid which made from wheat flour and it is also mixed with water and ginger. When all is put together in a nice mixture it makes the famous ‘Urojo’, which you should try when you visit our beautiful Island of Zanzibar.


Another thing there is no special time of eating Urojo, but most of the people like to have it in the morning or at night. Myself, I like to have it in the afternoon or at night. The famous joints to have Urojo are like Kijiko, Adnan and many. I hope you will like it when one day you have a taste of it, a bowl is never enough!

EXPERIENCE EID IN ZANZIBAR

After the month of Ramadhan where by all people in the world were fasting, joined together to celebrate the big day of Eid el fitri which is special for people to share with the less fortunate in the society.

In Zanzibar like in the other countries people celebrates together but there is something so special and unique in Zanzibar. It starts with the preparation of Eid from the first day of Ramadhan like buying clothes, new furniture and some of them start to paint their houses. Eid day is like the new day to us, even the children start to save their own money from the small pocket money given by their parents just for that special day.

When the day came there were special dishes served in homes like you couldn’t miss the most favorites in our culture, cakes, and some cookies where in plenty. The main purpose of the day is not to eat but to show unity and equality to all people, and also visit each other to say hello to their relative and friends. In the evening it was a day out for the young and the old, whereby people visited special places like Forodhani and Mnazi mmoja (the big place of Eid day in Zanzibar) where by people went there to celebrate Eid and have fun like dancing ,eating buying some toys to their children etc..

There are four days of Eid in Zanzibar, so you are almost welcome to join Eid in Zanzibar next year don’t miss come see and experience the Zanzibar culture.

MY EXPERIENCE AT ZANZIBITS

Being a teacher is not easy,” how can I make my students to understand me?” This is the question that I was asking on my mind the first time when I was in the class, but the experience of working that I got, is working with team, among teachers and students this is the way that you can make the students to understand the class and if they have any question they come to me, I answered it if I know the answer, and if I don’t know the answer I passed it to the team and we got the answer, working with team is a good things in this life because it brings unity, peace and helpful one another.

WHERE I CAME FROM, WHERE I AM AND WHERE I AM GOING?

It was so hard for me to understand when a person talk to me about computer before because I didn’t know anything about computer, so I was so anxious to know the computer knowledge and I try to looking for the place, which provide computer knowledge but I couldn’t succeed because of the money it was very expensive for me and my parents they couldn’t afford to pay the fee, but I couldn’t stop to find the place until one day when I got the news that there is place which is looking for the youth to join with the computer knowledge for free, I wrote my application letter to the NGO’s and fortunately I got the chance to be selected, the first day to start the course it was a very hard day for me because I couldn’t even to touch the mouse and I was scared of it, I thanks my teachers for helping me because I couldn't believe my self of how I was improve at the end of the year when I graduate my course and because of the good performance that I have I got the chance to be one of the new trainer at Zanzibits, I really want to thanks God and Zanzibits team for making me where I am today .
