3. Comments:
Charles joined this college with very high hopes of benefiting from his previous exposure and experience
through working as a porter up Mt. Kilimanjaro.
From his first time in class, Charles has worked hard and his abilities are well displayed.
He contributes a lot in class and asks very intelligent questions.
His latest and most amazing achievement was when he recorded his first Photographic Commentary
Presentation.
His knowledge and flow of points is quite amazing.
He does not seem to miss any point of example given by the trainers!
After the presentation, the class exploded with excitement and some nicknamed him as wizard!
Charles does his presentation in Swahili and this show just how good his understanding is.
He is working on his English and we are sure with time he will be able to present in English.
I then asked him to redo his presentation so as to send a copy to his sponsors - Sarah Leakey.
He did just that and Sarah enjoyed a great deal!
Keep it up, Charles!

Extract from his project on Kilimanjaro.
HISTORY
For the local chagga people who form Kilimanjaro foothills. The mountain has always been revered when Johannes Lebman reached this area 1848 and become the first European to see Kilimanjaro, he reported that his guide had once tried to bring down (silver) from the summit, which mysterious turned to water on the decent.
A letter explore Charles new, who reached the foot hill of Kilimanjaro in 1871, had stories from the local chief Mandara, about spirits on the mountain jealously guarding piles of silver and precious stones it was said that anybody trying to reach the summit will be punished by the spirit with illness and severe cold.
New was followed d by other explores. Gustav Fischer and Joseph Thomson both reached the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, and in 1887 caught Samuel Taleki managed to get within 400m of the top. The summit was eventually reached in October 1889 by Haus Meyer , a Germany geology professor accompanied by Ludwig Purtschuller an experienced alpinist and Johannes Lauwo a guide from village of Marang. Meyer named the summit Keiser Wilhenm Spitza, after the Germany emperor. When mainland Tanzania (the called Tanganyika) gained independent in 1961, the name of the summit has changed to Uhuru (freedom) peak.
The division of the wame Kilimanjaro has never been satisfactory explained. Explore Ludvig Lerapf Recorded that the local Chagga people called the mountain Kibo, which he understood the mean (snow) Johannes kebmann belived that name translated as mountain of greatness or mountain of caravans ( on the premises that slaving caravans travelling between the cost and the interior world have used the mountain as a landmark). Others have since suggested that the name means shinning mountain, white mountain or mountain of water.
There is a certainly reliable supply of water, which together with the rich volcanic soil in the area makes the foothills of Kilimanjaro for idle cultivation. Of course the chagga knew this and the group of British settlers, led by sir Harry Johnstone, who arrived here in 1884 also took advantage of these conditions. They cleared and planted an area of land near Taveta to the east to Kilimanjaro foothills. Johnstone had vision of the region becoming a second Ceylon.
In 1886, when the government of Germany and Britain agreed on a border to official define their territories, the line they drew from lake Victoria to the coast. Was perfectly straight, broken only by an untidy carve around Kilimanjaro. This divided the original British territory claimed by Johnstone now in Kenya, from the rest of the area around Kilimanjaro now in Tanzania.
It sometimes said that the border carves around Kilimanjaro because Queen Victoria gave the mountain to Keiser Wilhelm (her grandson) as a birthday present, while such an action would have been on different then the arbitrary partitioning to East Africa by these two monarchs’ own governments, there is no evidence that this story is true. But it remains one of many popular myths that add to the mystique and attraction of Kilimanjaro.
