A Place to Live

November 23, 2009 By Stephanie Calabrese

I want you to know Theresia Ngowi (right), her daughter, and Juliet Ngassa (left), program manager for Arusha-based, non-profit BEST (Business and Entrepreneurship Support Tanzania). Theresia welcomed Jen and I into her home in Magadini Village. She is a young entrepreneur and earns income by selling rice. Despite the fact that the walls of her home are partially constructed with cardboard, I felt such warmth inside.

Tell us about a painting, a photograph, or a word that brings meaning to your walls.

    Amazing how people find a way to live happily so simply, and with so little in their lives.
    These walls carry hundreds of years of life living within. Not the same kind of meaning..but a meaning all their own:

    If happy smiling faces could generate warmth that house would always be cosy. Its a beautiful photograph and the story aside the composition makes the photograph for me.
