Public Invited to Tanzanian Celebration!
Atlanta Loves Tanzania
Celebration Set for Sunday, September 24th at Newtown Park Amphitheater in Johns Creek, Georgia
Though some may struggle to locate the east African country of Tanzania on a map, there is a large and ever-growing community in metro Atlanta who make the 8000+ mile journey multiple times a year. The cause is “holistic community transformation” for the people in the rural village of Karansi, Tanzania through the work of UboraTZ, a nonprofit in Johns Creek, Georgia.
To celebrate the 21-year partnership of the two worlds of Atlanta, Georgia and Karansi, Tanzania, Ubora is hosting, “Atlanta Loves Tanzania,” a Tanzania-inspired celebration on Sunday, September 24th from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at Newtown Park Amphitheater in Johns Creek.
“We have a blast when we are in Tanzania and have learned so much from our friends and partners in Karansi,” said Ubora President Dave Burgess. “We wish we could bottle up and preserve that Tanzanian spirit of joy and thankfulness and bring it back with us to Atlanta. Through ‘Atlanta Loves Tanzania’ we hope to do just that, and encourage people to get involved in serving there.”
The Ubora family, the Tanzanian community of metro Atlanta, and the public is invited to join the celebration which will include:
- Tanzanian dance party, featuring DJ Luke from Tanzania
- Authentic Tanzanian cuisine, including mandazi and chai
- Impact updates from Ubora in areas including education, health, business, widows, community and more
- Exciting announcement about future development plans for education in Tanzania
Attendees will also learn about opportunities to travel to Tanzania on mission trips and ways to get involved. This is a free event; registration is requested: https://uboratz.kindful.com/e/atl-loves-tz
Pastor John Kazilo from Tanzania, who now lives in Cumming, Georgia, is a friend of the ministry and is helping to engage the local Tanzanian community to join the celebration.
