Thanks, Nancy.  At the Better Way Foundation, we support a range of ECD programs in Tanzania, which is how I've started to become familiar with CRED-PRO's work. [We also support ECD in the U.S.]  I'm keen to deepen my knowledge and network related to Tanzania and also am inerested in the work with the Arigatou Foundation that you mentioned in your message.

 

I look forward to engaging with you and others through CRED-PRO.

 

Thanks,
Andreas
