    Dear Dr. Shaaban:

    A language learning program named “Duolingo” has a Kiswahili module with “tips” concerning the Tanzanian educational system. This raised my interest in Tanzanian education as I have contact with two organizations which provide education to young Tanzanians. In searching Google I came across a reference to KELI and a book titled “Education In Tanzania” listed to your authorship. However, I do not find anything further (Kindle edition or otherwise) concerning your book. If possible, please let me know how your book might be available. Best wishes for your success with KELI in Tanzania.

    1. Thank you David for reaching out.

      I self-published my book earlier this year, however, I was not happy with how it came out so I took it down. Currently, I am looking for a publisher to put it back on the market. I will let you know once the book is back on the market again.

      Would it be okay to share with me the contact information for two organizations providing education to young Tanzanians?

      Thank you so very much.
