Wekesa Ochieng

Teacher at Dar es Salaam Grammar School, loves computer science

  • 🇹🇿 Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
  • Dar es Salaam Grammar School
  • 2004 to 2025
  • English, Swahili
I came to teaching late, after working as a clerk, and 21 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. Outside the classroom I bake for the whole street at New Year. Inside it, I always had a bag of oranges in my drawer.

More about Wekesa

Teaching changed me more than I changed anyone, I think.
