Mary Awino Macharia

Taught special education at Dar es Salaam Primary School

  • 🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
  • Dar es Salaam Primary School
  • 1978 to 2013
  • English
I came to teaching late, after working as an accountant, and 35 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. Over the years I had 1,720 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile.

More about Mary

The students I remember best weren't always the top of the class. They were the ones who asked "why?" when nobody else did.
What gifts mean to Mary: If you do send something, I'll put it toward a small scholarship for a student who needs it.
