Welcome to "Auburn Visits Tanzania"! This blog is dedicated to the students, teachers, parents, and community members of Auburn, NY -- and is the product of a partnership between Auburn Education Foundation, Auburn Enlarged School District, and myself.
My name is Marisa Ranieri, and I graduated from Auburn High School in June 2008. Since then, I graduated from college, moved to Tanzania for one year to teach English, started a non-profit organization called The Nyota Fund which sponsors 50 full academic scholarships to high school students in Tanzania, and am currently pursuing a Masters from NYU in African Studies.

I am really excited to begin this blogging adventure this spring with you, but I'm even MORE excited to be coming back to Auburn to give some talks and meet with students across the school district mid-March!
As my teachers told me, and I told my students in Tanzania, there is no such thing as a silly question. Feel free to post comments or questions on any of the blog posts and I'll answer them in the following week's post, or you can ask me in person when I come to town.
Kwa heri! (Goodbye in Swahili)
Marisa
