Polar TV´s guest of the day

I was talking to one journalist in Tanzania  and I asked him if he can write a feature story about our humanitarian projects in Mbeya. He gave me one answer which I will never forget, he said first: There is no editor interested with some NGO stories on newspapers because they don´t sell, second: by publishing our activities story he will make me more famous and rich. I think he was forgeting that the project is not mine,the project is helping our people and building the economy of our country

I´m glad there are few jounalists who more than one time were able to publish our humanitarian projects and tell people what we do, these are Joseph Mwaisango of Mbeya yetu blog, Godfrey and Brandy Nelson of Mwananchi Newspaper and Cheyo of TBC Mbeya.

Now I´m in Europe and jounalists think we are doing exotic and a great job and therefore we are invited in TVs studios for interviews on our projects in Tanzania, this gives us more publicity and posibilities to help poor children in Tanzania.

Last time I was in Czech National TV and Today I was in Polar Tv´s guest of the day program. Together with Tomas Gongol we had to talk about what we do in Africa but we had different questions,  I was asked

1. How challenging is my job and what do I provide for the project?
   I had to explain my duties,what I do for the organization like coordinating projects, managing finances and the difficulties I face.
2. How did my cooperation begin, when and how did it all begin?
   I had to tell a story on how I met Bez Mamy founder Ondrej Horecky and how we became friends because according to him I was the first black man he met in Africa who could speak his language,Although actually I wasn´t able to speak but I knew some Czech words
3. What is my task here in Czech? Here in Czech Republic I have brought Africa closer to people and organization sponsors, I do presentation to keep people informed on what we actually did, doing and will do
4. How do I perceive NGO Bez mamy, as Tanzanian citizen? And how local people and orphans accept them? I see Bezmamy as partner in my country development,by now the government of Tanzania is busy building infrastructure which is good for the economy growth. In this case the government now can´t do everything thats why Bez Mamy is helping orphans in education for their future potential employments. Local people accept it because they see Bez mamy as a support to our government economy growth goals. To the children who lost their parents now they see Bez mamy as their father and mother

Thanks to Lukas Zavadil for producing a documentary on our projects in Tanzania and Renata Eleonora Orlikova to invite us in the studios of Polar TV

Kryštof Concert-Frydek Mistek

I have to be honest to my fellow Tanzanians even if some won´t like it. This is about entertainment industry, I think Tanzanians entertainers need to come up with some revolution so that they can make to international level as AY, Cpwaa and Arusha´s Xplastaz with their maasai hip hop

X-Plastaz in Amsterdam

To the comedians I think they need whole new level to go international because being funny doesn´t mean you must dress like a clown with dirty clothes, or speak some funny accent or pop your eye balls half way out, and this is what Tanzanian comedians do.

I like Tanzanian classic music of Juwata and Vijana Jazz, DDC mlimani park,  Orchestra Maquis original, Tancut Almas, Nico Zengekala e.t.c . Their music was from 1980s but has same flavour till now like  Bob Marley´s, but I´m sad these musicians are no more

New generation´s Bongo flava doesn´t last long, a song which was produced 3 years ago now has lost its taste,you wont need to listen to it at all.But I have my favourites songs like Pombe yangu by Madee, Nipeni deal by Ngwear ft Dark masta, Ghetto by Pah one, Hakunaga by Sumalee, Kesho by Diamond Platnumz, Action by Cpwaa ft Ms Triniti, Asha by TID etc

Somebody asked me why I don´t go to music concerts in Tanzania..I will tell you why..First, In my life I have never bought a ticket to attend any live concert anywhere in Tanzania this is because I´m not satisfied with their perfomance on stage,I dont like playback singing when musicians are singing from pre recorded cd, artists on stage talk too much than perfoming, stage is full of half naked dancers, high volume music with non surround sound

I like live on stage serious business with surround sound as if they are in studio:- Kryštof, Adele, Limp bizkit, Linkin Park, Three doors down, System of the down, AC/DC,Lynyrd Skynyrd etc

It was cold saturday evening with shower rain, I didn´t like this day as I was freezing to death, I didn´t have proper gears because weather just changed suddenly and all my gears were in the apartment in Frydek-Mistek and I was in Dobratice. I have to walk all the way down to Dobratice pod Prasivou train station to Frydek Mistek then again walk for almost 20 minutes to the apartment.

All these troubles of the day were wiped out after I geared up and headed to the  Kryštof concert with Zuzinka, Gabriela and Zuzanka

I was thrilled,I real dont have proper words to explain how wonderful this show was, it was woooow, fantastic, exciting, encredible, super.

That´s what I´m talking about, On stage playing drums, guitars, saxophone, trumpets and singing live with surround sound

There were no seats but I was not tired to stand and watch their perfect perfomance. when the show was over one girl fainted, some say she didn´t have enough oxygen because of too many people in the hall but I have defferent opinion I think she was thrilled by the show. I have seen white girls  in Europe fainting after seing Michael Jackson Perfoming live on stage

Kryštof ......... Perfect show for the weekend

300 Rise of an Empire

Since the climbing of Lysa Hora the whole week has been free for me. On thursday 13th Michal Sotak,my friend and my roommate invited me for the movie at Cinestar Ostrava. Taking a little moment to refresh my brain before the coming up events-

• Interview at Polar TV on Monday 17th
• School to School project presentation with Eliska at Dubnany School on Thursday 20th 
• Projects presentation in Trutnov on tuesday 25th
• and in Studenka on wednesday 26th
• Then on 28th I will be leaving Moravian region to Prague the historical capital of Bohemia

Cinestar is just great, I think I have been here before in 2012 with Tomas watching James Bond's Skyfall. this time it is 300. The rise of Empire in 3D. if you watch 3D movie you will never enjoy watching a movie on your laptop anymore. Very nice graphics and visual

"It is better to die on your feet than living on your knees". Such beautiful inspiring words to soldiers from commander Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton) star of the movie.

I would use these words to some African countries that it is better to try hard to build economy and create better future of their countries by using vast amount of resources they have than living on their knees begging and depending on western countries because dependant economy has consequences to face

For example African Development Bank cancelled more than 640million dollars of debts owed by Tanzania because of being impressed by the country's efforts to grow her economy and accountability level of public finance. By the year 2013 the country's economy grew at rate of 7 % and poverty reduction grew at rate of 2 %

As Tanzanian Im eager to see the economy Rise of a former Germany empire as I can see so many infrastructures construction going on around the country

Reunion trip Climbing snowy Lysa Hora

September 26,2013, the last Bez mamy summer mission team left Moshi,Tanzania back to Prague via Dubai. The team had 3 members: Zuzana Klusova, Radka Hojna and Gabriela Gongolova. it was not a good moment to say goodbye but we had to,this was a time of tears again. Me and Daniel Agusta we stayed in Moshi then proceeded to Arusha with my car

Now Im in Czech Republic for the 5th time. I have Been here for almost a month doing presentations from East to west,north to South but one member is not with us, this is Radka Hojna,the whole team think we are missing someone so we need  "Reunion trip"

We had to call Radka for this trip

Climbing Lysa Hora is our best shot for reunion. Lysa Hora is the highest mountain of the Moravia-Silesian beskids range in The Czech Republic with 1323 metres high. It is consider the rainiest place of the country.

Lysa Hora means Bald mountain because it had no trees before.

 The trip has started 

 Radka Hojna with Chris Zacharia

Gabriela Gongolova, Michaela Gongolova, Radka Hojna, Zuzana Klusova and Michal Sotak

 Its freezing up here, we have to warm our bodies with hot tea

 Michaela and Tomas Gongol tea time

 Its getting Snowy and colder, pull up your hoods

 Michal Sotak looks half kaput but not really,he is still  more than ready to move ahead

 Snowy path to the top

 This is just the beggining

 Keep moving

 Come on....!

 Happy hour...We are Almost there

 Look at that...!

....It is Moravian-Silesian mountain range

 The top tower is much closer now

 Here we are..nobody was left behind

 Hongeeeera(Congratulation)..We have made it to the top...

Very tired on our way down....we need to rest abit

Silesian University in Opava

The project presentation at Silesian University started at 13:05. Although me and Tomas were already at the University about 5 hours before because Tomas had other business to Take care

I was supposed to present in English for one hour and I was able to manage my time and  finish the english presentation at exactly 14:05 when Tomas continued with Czech Presentation.

Stories of my meeting with Ondrej and my trip to Ethiopia for a Czech visa were of interest to audiences. I also talked about living facts of Tanzania, Democracy, economy, education, infrastructures and tourism. I guess these were interesting topics for international development students because I had to compare Tanzanian democracy with other countries like Zimbabwe, Uganda, DR congo, Sudan and Somalia

As we need more volunteers to come to Africa, again I talked about wars in Africa. Most people are not well informed about Africa so I was trying to let more people know that war is not everywere in Africa. Its is like when people are fighting in Ukraine it doesn´t mean the whole Europe is a war zone

This is another presentation I liked, because people were sitting put and listening carefully, some were going out and coming back. It is always difficult to sit for more than one hour if you are not interested with the on going topic. Tomas spoke for almost another 20 minutes and when he finished audiences started asking questions.

These were not like other questions from Audiences in some schools  asking how old I am, if I have a girlfriend etc, these were serious questions for example one women was worrying about poor financial managements of humanitarian supports sent to Africa. Most of support never reach targeted groups, honestly she had a point but "this is not our case" answered Tomas

Sometimes It is always difficult to know if what you were presenting was interesting until somebody say something. After Tomas closed the presentation then Dominika Hajkova came upfront to give us the compliment on the good presentation we have done.

"It was very interesting presentation, now I know more about Africa than before" Said Dominika. Personaly I´m glad we have one member of this University who supports our Organization. Support doesn´t only mean providing money or giving something but also commenting, liking and sharing our posts on facebook  and that is what Dominika does so often. This increases popularity of our organization activities

Horni Domaslavice - 2nd March

At about 8 am I and Zuzka left Nizni Lhoty to Horni Domaslavice church for the holy mass. This church was bulit in between 1739 – 1745. At this parish is where I will have my another presentation

As usual in many parts of this country I was the only black man in the church. After the mass was finished the Parish priest acknowlegded my presence in the church and made an announcement about our projects in Africa and invited church members to attend my presentation later in the evening

In the evening the whole Bez Mamy team were at Horni Domaslavice Parish house. Preparing everything ready for the presentation

The presentation started as planned with encouraging number of attendants although it is not the first time for people of this parish to hear about Bez mamy´s projects.

All attendants looked interested to know more about our projects and about Tanzania, I could see that on their faces, smiling, listening careful and asking questions,this encouraged me to talk more

SAMA DOMA TV SHOW - 28th February

http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/ivysilani/1148499747-sama-doma/414236100171004/obsah/311201-pomoc-tanzanii

I was told I was the first Tanzanian on the show, I wish I would have 20 minutes of speaking about my Country and our projects of helping poor children in Tanzania but these 7 minutes were enough to let people aware of our projects in Africa

Many Europeans think there is war everywhere in Africa,they consider Africa as unsafe place to go, my tour in Europe is also to let people know that Not every where people are fighting,its my duty to tell them how exotic, beautiful and peaceful Tanzania is.

Many good things about Africa always don´t appear in global news thats why most people in Europe are not well informed about this developing continent

Former president of Tanzania Mwl Julius Nyerere said Africa is of Interest when we are killing one another, if we want to appear in European News we can cause more trouble somewhere

Im glad to let people know that Tanzania is a land of UNESCO´s world heritage Serengeti National park which was used as inspiration for animated disney feature film The lion king.

In 1950s Bernhard Grzimek and his son Michael produced a book and a film by the name Serengeti shall never die.

Tanzania is also a home of the highest mountain in Afica Kilimanjaro and stone town Zanzibar
