Tansanian Itsenaisyysjuhla / Independence Day Celebration  50 years of independence

More than enough reason for our Seura to celebrate the occasion! We would like to welcome all of you to celebrate with us on 9th December! Come and enjoy anniversary speeches, great food, music and dance. The location is Puotinkylä-Marjaniemen Työväentalo, Rusthollarinkuja 3 in Puotila, between 6 pm to 1 am. The celebration is free of charge, just bring some coins for food and drinks. RSVP: 1st Dec (contact: tanzania50years(at)gmail.com).  

Tanzania celebrates Independence Day on 9th December each year. On this date in 1961, the East African nation of Tanganyika gained independence from Great Britain. In 1964, Tanganyika united with several islands in the Indian Ocean, including Zanzibar and Pemba, to form the United Republic of Tanzania.

Syyskuu - September - Septemba

Hyvät jäsenet,

Suomi-Tansania seura järjestää tänä syksynä swahilin kielen keskustelukerhon kaikille kielestä kiinnostuneille, jotka haluavat kehittää taitojaan. Kerhon tapaamiset järjestetään joka toinen lauantai kello 15-17 kulttuurikeskus Caisan kokoushuoneessa 3. Ensimmäinen tapaaminen järjestetään jo tämän viikon lauantaina 17.9. Kerhossa keskitymme enemmän arjen kielenkäyttöön kuin kielioppiin. Ajatuksena on myös järjestää tandem-keskusteluja swahiliksi ja suomeksi, niin että jokainen opiskelija toimii myös opettajana.

Swahili-kerhon yhteyshenkilö on Noel Makumuli (044 30 77 817, alexnoel81(at)gmail.com). Noelia voi lähestyä kaikissa kerhoon liittyvissä asioissa. Ilmoita hänelle myös, jos olet osallistumassa lauantain tapaamiseen.

Karibuni sana!

*************************

Dear members,

The Suomi-Tansania Seura is arranging a Swahili discussion club for those interested in improving their conversational Swahili skills. The club is arranged every second Saturday between 15-17 in Kulttuurikeskus Caisa (Vuorikatu 14, Kaisaniemi), meeting room 3. The first session is already next Saturday, 17.9. The focus of the sessions will be more on discussions than on grammar, and the idea is to have tandem-discussion in Swahili and Finnish. So all participants will be both teachers and students at the same time.

The contact person for the Swahili club is Noel Makumuli (044 30 77 817, alexnoel81(at)gmail.com). Feel free to contact Noel in case of any questions, and please drop him a line if you are planning to participate on Saturday.

Karibuni sana!

Membership Fee - Jäsenyysasiat

The Society would like to request and remind its members of the due membership fee for 2011. Please pay your fee according to the below given details latest before end of May 2011. Thank you! Please keep in mind that our Society's activties and existence very much depends on your membership fee. We still have the situation that only about 1/3 of the registered members are supporting the Society with the fee payment. Therefore, the financial situation of our Society is continuously at the edge. This causes continuous concern especially if one takes into consideration the fact that the board of the Society is very very active the last three years compared to before. Also this year, 2011, the board will organize many diverse activities such as:

• supporting the Tufahamiane Club and the AIDS-orphan Rehema,
• producing our Newsletter Taarifa,
• participating in the World Village Festival - this year even with a food stand in cooperation with the Tufahamiane Club women,
• organize a summer excursion,
•  prepare an extra-ordinary 50-year Independence Day celebration.

Such activities have naturally extra expenses to the Society. These are in addition to the Society's fixed running costs (website, posting and post box, storage room rent, audit costs). It is the wish of the The Board to keep most of these activities running through the coming years.

Our Membership fees for 2011 are as follows:

• Student/unemployed 5,- euro
• member/family 15,- euro

The Membership fee should be paid to the Society's bank account at Sampo:

Account number: FI80 8000 1800 4926 63

SWIFT-BIC - code: DABAFIHH (for payments coming from outside the EU)

When paying, it is important to mention the name and postal address of the member (members in case of family) in the message box on the pay slip. In case you want to become a volunteer, a member or re-new your membership, please send a card or email with your name, postal address and phone number to the following address: Email: pertti.vanne(at)gmail.com or to the Society's postal address: PO Box 906, 00101 Helsinki.

Thank you!
