What is a Dream to me!
Dreams are an extension of how you perceive yourself; they can be a source of inspiration, wisdom, and joy. I always pray to God that I be a good husband to my wife and a good father to my kids. Man success is not how much money he has but what kind of a family he has brought up.
Best Teaches
Jesus Teach!
What did Jesus actually teach? What concepts, ideas did he share with his followers concerning God's relation to mankind, a person's relation to God, and on what basis should we try to relate to one another? The essence of Jesus' teachings is encompassed in genuine love and unselfish social service.
In his teachings, in his life and how he lived it, Jesus revealed God to men and women, and leds men and women to God. What is to follow is a selection of main highlights of the gospel of Jesus; that is, not so much the gospel about him, but rather what he actually and so generously taught his apostles, disciples and other followers, even his enemies. Jesus is soo Genuine
Below is my only Son Alpha. I always pray to God to guide me so that I bring him to the good ways always. Much thanks to my Lovely wife Janeth for this Gift, I will cherish it forever and always.

Profession aspiration
My career interest is in the field of Construction. I aspire to continue working at various levels of responsibilities in relation to Construction Projects Management and Estates Management. My ambition is to go for more training on Project Management, Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Contract Management and Construction Audits, and whenever an opportunity arises, I will go for a research degree (PhD) in one of, or more of these disciplines, I believe this will pave way for me to become a much more competent professional in the field of Construction and hence be a resource person in training other fellow Tanzanians as needed, being government or private sectors officials.
