Professionalmente mi occupo di regia televisiva, quindi il mio forte sono le immagini video e la comunicazione. Sono pero' laureata in ingegneria edile e per questo amo anche l'architettura e la progettazione di spazi e luoghi. Credo di avere buone capacita' in ambito culinario e come mamma cucino spesso e volentieri. Mi piace invitare a cena amici e chiacchierare con loro. Sono abbastanza brava con i lavoro manuali di pittura e disegno, so suonare un pochino la chitarra e mi piace cantare. Pratico alcuni sport come il tennis e mi piace fare trekking ed andare in bicicletta in giro per il mondo. Sono madrelingua italiana, ma conosco a livello elementare inglese e francese. Amo stare con i bambini e i ragazzi e aiutarli nei compiti di scuola, soprattutto nelle materie scientifiche che conosco bene. Ho seguito un corso di shiatsu e anche se non e' la mia professione faccio a volte trattamenti e massaggi rigeneranti.

We had a truly wonderful time with Rafaela and her son during their stay at our home and school. Rafaela is an amazing mother who always made sure everything was well organized and running smoothly. She supported our school in so many ways — from preparing learning materials to helping in the classroom with great care and dedication.

Our experience with Weza and the NGO association was unforgettable for my 14-year-old son and me.
We volunteered at the preschool for just two weeks, staying at Weza's house and sharing their daily routine, my son also had the opportunity to participate in the football academy.
It was my first experience as a workawayer with my son and Weza… read more immediately made us feel at home and part of his family!
As soon as I contacted Weza, he was very open and helpful, and I immediately felt I could trust him: he answered all my questions and curiosities even before we left.
Then, as soon as we arrived, he made us feel at ease, introducing us to the house, the family, and the place: the house is welcoming, the family is affectionate and engaging, with Weza's two children, BabyD and Willy, truly wonderful! MamaD, Weza's wife, everyday delighted us with delicious local dishes and Dada was also helpful on many occasions.
Weza and her family are a constant and reliable presence we could always count on also introducing us to Arusha and helping us with our SIM card, transfer, safari and trips to the area.

About the school I can say that Weza's school is an important point of reference for local children and youth: learning english children aged 3 to 5 gain the opportunity to invest in their future and in improving their society. This is also thanks to the teachers, Madame Elisa, Madame Juma, and Madame Happy (MamaD), and the assistants who work at the school.
The older children, playing soccer at the academy, foster a sense of solidarity and teamwork that helps them overcome the challenges of their daily lives.
Me and my son went to school with Weza or on the school bus driven by Hector every day between 9:00 and 1:00 PM, we helped the teacher with setting up the english teaching posters, and during class, correcting the children's homework.
Three afternoons a week, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, my son participated in football practice playing with the boys.
Weza's association is certainly doing a great job improving the situation of many children and young people, and their families. And their expansion project with the Primary School is certainly worth all the effort they're putting in.

The experience with Weza was a complete immersion in Tanzanian life: music, scents, flavors, landscapes and unique moments like the Sunday evening bonfire. A genuine, but above all human, warmth, shared by the other volunteers who joined us over the course of our two weeks. It was wonderful to play cards together after dinner in various languages: German, French, Mexican, Italian, Swahili, and English!

The pace of life is POLE POLE so different from our western lifestyle and we loved it!
Simply: KARIBU!!!
