Tuesday, November 11 - Immersive School Visit: Literacy & Girls' Education in Action 
Departing from the Hyatt Regency, experience the heart of Room to Read’s mission as we spend the day at a partner school implementing our Literacy and Girls’ Education Programs.

Engage in meaningful conversations with teachers, students, parents, and school leaders, and join a powerful Life Skills session with secondary school girls.

This immersive visit offers a firsthand look at the transformative power of education and the local partnerships that make it possible. You'll leave with a deeper connection to our work—and to the bright futures being written every day in Tanzania.

After a day full of inspiration and connection, we’ll return to Dar es Salaam for an early group dinner and time to reflect together.
