Sponsored Walk for Tanzania Yesterday saw the Year 10 and Year 12 students complete a sponsored 6km walk for Tanzania. Every year, students from BIS Abu Dhabi go to Arusha in Tanzania to work with our community partnerships there. Year 10 and Year 12 Tanzania Expedition students have been holding activities in school, with donations being kindly received and put toward the community projects in Tanzania this year.

Yesterday saw the Year 10 and Year 12 students complete a sponsored 6km walk for Tanzania. In addition to those going to Tanzania this November, the group was also joined by some eager students from Years 7, 8 and 9 who were keen to add their support for the worthy cause!

Two laps of the school were completed in around one and a half hours, and the last students were home just before the sandstorm hit!

Individual students have raised between 300AED and 1500AED to take with us to Tanzania, which will be put towards the building of the new community nursery school and special educational needs facility in the village of Imbaseni.

Well done to all!
