GOING GLOBAL
Global exchange Tanzania participants travel to United Kingdom for a period of three months. Nine youth volunteers were c
hosen from nine regions in Tanzania to face the challenge of working with other people in UK who have different social, educational and economic backgrounds. Global exchange program is a six months program which gives young people from different countries a unique opportunity to work together, to develop and share valuable skills and to make a practical contribution where it is needed in local communities. The theme for global exchange Tanzania this year is Youth Health Employability. Youth will stay for a period of three months in UK. The participants will be back in Tanzania January where they will partner with youth from UK and continue working for a period of three months.
MAJUKWAA MANUAL
Currently TYC staff is busy preparing a manual which will be used to coordinate the activities of the Jukwaa. All the Majukwaa will be guided by one manual. The manual informs you about Majukwaa how to run them and some of the roles that all the stake holders are responsible for. The manual will make the running of Majukwaa easier and each stakeholder will understand each role and where they fit in the jukwaa. The manual will be in two versions Kiswahili and English. It will be ready for use in the month of November.
TYC in collaboration with Sahringonet
TYC in collaboration with Sahringonet organized a stand up and take action campaign, which the idea was rooted, from the Millennium Development Goals. The idea came from the declaration, which was made in 2000 in which developed and developing countries made a promise that by 2015 they will have eradicated extreme poverty in the world. The campaign main aim was to remind the government on the promises they made so that they act.
Youth from Tabora and primary school actively participated in this campaign. They believe that by standing up together they will manage to act and they will be listened to.

Entreprenship training yields change
Getting young people involved and encouraging them to start their own business and equipping them with the knowledge and skills contribute to their own personal development and to the nation as a whole. Competence in what one does is important. In September 2008 TYC introduced different courses within the training center. Entrepreneurship is one of the courses that were introduced. Entrepreneurship training provides young people with information and creativity on starting their own business. TYC and Ms Tanzania in June 2009 collaborated and carried out a mini research to see how training has impacted youth lives and some of the challenges they face.

Do you believe that Your Success depends on being yourself and believing in oneself.
Hi friends!
It’s a long time since we met. Your success depends on being your self and believing in your self
“How can I do it, how can I succeed in doing this or that and how can I afford it” These are questions asked by American business man Robert Kiyosaki. Many of us fail because we don’t know that believing in ourselves is as important as being ourselves. Being ourselves means being true to who we are, believing in our abilities, doing things in our own styles adding needed efforts. Trying to reach our destiny might be good but doing and not saying I am trying is best, every achievement is vital no matter how little it is. We fail because we fear to do things and take decisions. Never fear just get out and do it, be true to yourself and do what you can do to your level best. Don’t look at what others will say or think but come out and do what you can do to your level best. Be yourself and believe in you self, do it in your own way and your style, don’t forget to learn from your so called mistakes they are not mistakes but stepping stones.
