Zaituni
My
name is Zaituni Moh’d Ali. I was born in 12/01/1996 as the daughter
of Asha Juma Mfaume, the name of my mother, and my father’s name is
Mohammed Ali Nyenza. I don’t have any sister but I have two
brothers, and I grew up in the village of Jambiani at the east coast
of Zanzibar. In Jambiani there are 14 sub-villages, and I come from
the sub-village Mchangani
in Kikadini Shehia. The village Jambiani is divided in two
administration parts called Shehia; so there are Kikadini Shehia and
Kibigija Shehia.
With
the support of Child Development Fund (CDF) I would like to study
Diploma in International Relation at the Institute of Public
Administration (IPA). I am going to start the first semester in July
2014, and I expect to finish my studies in 2017.
After
successfully finishing my studies I want to work as a Public Relation
Officer in any Embassy in Tanzania or as Field Officer in the
projects implemented by any international agency working here in
Zanzibar especially SAVE CHILDREN or UNICEF or CARE International. I
hope my work will benefit the rural community of Zanzibar, especially
who are vulnerable and disadvantaged. Apart from this, I hope to I
will also benefit my Nation at large.
Apart
from my profession, I have the following interests: listening
children radio programme every weekend, reading newspaper, watching
TV and reading books. My role model is Celion Dione and Michael
Jackson, because they act in a special mood, for example Michael
Jackson who sings many songs for children, for example “We
are the world.” Céline Dion’s
songs “Goodbye Mama”
and “New Day has come”
are very unique songs to me.

Physical
and verbal violence to children is a big issue in Zanzibar.
Furthermore, students are often discriminated against in transport
because they have to pay only half of the price. The conductors of
buses or daladalas prefer adults who pay full price. So, we often
come late or even not to the lessons in downtown. Education is one
thing but this is not enough. The government has started to mitigate
this situation. I hope that CDF in cooperation with ZAGO (Zanzibar
Green Organisation) might also help to
remove such bad habits.
