On January 23, 2025, Fulbright Scholar Faraja Ngogo visited Avonworth High School to present on Kiswahili language and East African culture. Speaking to a group of about 20 students and two teachers, Faraja introduced basic Kiswahili phrases, discussed cultural practices in Tanzania, and shared personal stories to bring East African traditions to life.
