From Student to Teacher
A wildlife club member is empowered to become a future educator.
The Noloholo Environmental Center was alive with the sounds of learning in 2022 as students returned to in-person programs that had been on hold during the pandemic. Our education team, led by Revocatus Magayane, welcomed boys and girls to youth environmental camps while supporting our growing network of wildlife club members and scholarship recipients.
When Magreth Chang'endo joined an APW wildlife club at the age of 9, she couldn’t have imagined the journey she would take to where she is today. Now a first-year university student, the 20-year-old Noloholo Environmental Scholar is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Education at the University of Dar es Salaam.
Growing up in a rural village that borders Tarangire National Park, Magreth’s exceptional academic performance and experiences in APW’s youth programs gave her the confidence to think big about her future. She knows first-hand the difference that a supportive learning environment can make for rural youth, especially girls, and she’s ready to serve the next generation.
Magreth also sees her career goal as a natural extension of her own experience with APW and our approach to building meaningful and collaborative relationships.
By focusing on teaching and helping students, I will find solutions for them to learn well. I am interested in how people make deep connections with each other through learning.
Today, 79 students like Magreth have been supported in their secondary or university education through APW's scholarship program. If you'd like to help the next generation reach their academic and career goals, consider making a gift today. Just $100 per month sends a scholar to private school for one year.
