On February 13, 2025, Fulbright Scholar Faraja Ngogo visited Linsly Middle School to deliver three interactive presentations on Tanzanian culture and the Kiswahili language. She engaged approximately 83 students in grades 8 and 9 in one session, and 66 students in grades 5 through 7 across two additional sessions. Through storytelling, cultural insights, and basic language instruction, students were introduced to life in East Africa from an authentic, personal perspective
