Dar es Salaam. Tanzania: Matthew Kibble, managing director and former owner of Matthew Kibble Transport, has returned from Tanzania after delivering a series of talks on behalf of Transaid, at the National Institute of Transport, in Dar es Salaam.
The National Institute of Transport began its partnership with Transaid in 2010, under the shared goal of providing quality driver training and reducing traffic accidents. Transaid has previously provided training at NIT, but Kibble’s talks were the first delivered directly to the students.
“I really enjoyed the experience. The students were brilliant and interested to hear what I had to stay. I still receive messages from them and the lead lecturer,” Kibble said.
“A close friend remarked that they hadn’t seen me so engaged in a long time, so this is something I would definitely do again, either at the NIT or to support another Transaid project. It is so important for students to see something beyond just their textbooks.”
