As part of our partnership with Upper St. Clair, the Center for African Studies arranged a cultural visit featuring Fulbright Scholar Faraja Ngogo. Faraja shared her experiences and insights about Tanzanian culture with approximately 50 middle school students (ages 13–14). The visit provided an opportunity for students to engage directly with a native Swahili speaker, explore East African traditions, and broaden their global understanding through an interactive cultural exchange.
