An Evening of Stories and Pictures with Sadock Johnson, Tanzanian Safari Guide and Youth Advocate
The Mullis Center, Thursday, February 23, 7:00pm, Reception Following
Sadock Johnson (known as “Johnson”), will talk about his life growing up in East Africa, working as a safari guide, and developing programs to help poor communities and street children in Tanzania. Johnson was born in a village in East Africa, and was educated in village schools, where he completed secondary school. He was able to pursue further education, did research on gorillas and elephants, and became a highly regarded safari guide.
As his work brought him into contact with poor communities throughout Tanzania, he began looking for ways to use his own success to help others, especially children. In 2006, Johnson and a partner founded Foot2Afrika-Tanzania. This organization places volunteers from developed countries into local organizations in need of help. However, Johnson continues to think big, and he is working to develop a day center and trade school for street youth in Moshi.
