Description
My name is Hassan but you can call me Sam. I'm an energetic young business owner that is looking to venture into the hospitality world. I run my family medical shop where we sell herbal remedies and have for the last 100+ years (Since 1909). I love what I do and I also love my town. That's why I'm excited to show any potential workawayers the place I choose to call home. I've lived in Canada and been to many places throughout North America and Africa and I can honestly say that Moshi is as beautiful as any other place out there. I can't wait to show you my home!
Types of help and learning opportunities

Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Experience the local culture, very touristy yet somehow still authentically local town. I will show any workawayers anything they want to see. I can teach swahili and maybe how to make herbal remedies
Help
Family heritage of over 100 years with a lot of rich history in Tanzania. Need help to organize and sort boxes of medicines into a storage facility to create space. Once we have some space, move the stock from dedicated hostel area to storage area. Disassemble and reassemble current shelves in storage area. Once the dedicated hostel area is cleared, transform our family home into a hostel with an effort to preserve the family's history.

Although I only hosted you for a few days, It was fun having you around. You have kind personality, bonded with the family & now you've become a part of it 😉.
I wish you the very best for your future endeavors & would definitely like to cross paths with you again someday.
