PROJECTS.
This page publishes the details of the Project Assignments given to the Macho ya Tanzania Guides.
1. Information File.
This project required the Guide to read different sources of information and identify any details that he thinks might be required during his guiding duties. He will select a title for that information and file it Alphabetically in his Project Compilation. This way he can be sure to give a correct answer in any circumstances by having this very important reference tool. The File is a small Box File that is easy to carry in a car or day-pack.
