Even Flowers Know That Water is Useless Without Roots

This collection brings together various memories, experiences, and observations of my motherland, Tanzania. The subjects range from natural resources, love, food, and culture to self-pride. You will learn about the wealth and diversity of Tanzania’s people, culture, and natural resources. This book is an ode to Tanzania and a subtle memoir by its descendant.
