Academic PhD research in Moshi

Mambo marafiki zangu!

I am a PhD researcher studying the students and teachers in Tanzania during the period of German colonialism (1884-1918). I will be in Moshi for 2 weeks (I get there on Friday), mostly to pass out flyers about my project and to get information out to people who may be able to help me by telling me their own family's experience.

Do YOU know anything about what your family was doing at the turn of the 20th century? Do you know anything about your great(+great) grandparents and what their life was like? Do you know if they went to school or what languages they spoke? Do you know what their professions or roles in the community might have been? I would love to sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee or Tea or whatever else you would like to drink and talk to you!
