Staff Kudos to Russ Petricka!

22 January 2020

Russ Petricka, supervisor of the Math Skills Center, spent two weeks during winter break in Tanzania participating in Project Zawadi’s English Bridge Program. He taught Conversational English to upper primary school students making the transition from Standard Seven to Form I of Secondary School (where the language of instruction changes from Swahili to English), as a volunteer in a Tanzania NGO (Non-Govermental Organization), named Project Zawadi. Then, on the last day of his stay in Tanzania, he visited the Secondary School (Old Moshi Secondary School) where he taught Mathematics for two years (1965, 1966) as a member of the Peace Corps.
