Final Reflections
I felt proud to present the work that I had done because it took a lot of effort and I knew I was ready to present.
I felt excited doing the presentation because I knew I had loads of support from my teachers and my parents. What also made me less scared was when I realized my presentation was the first one, once I was done I could sit back, relax and watch my friend’s presentation.
I learned a lot of new skills but the one I am most proud of is learning to insert a video onto Google Slides because it made it a lot more interesting for the people watching. Also being able to organise all of my research and findings into a more interesting presentation for my audience.
For me, the most enjoyable part of my Exhibition was when I got to go to a Maasai boma and converse with the village elders about their home life and what interactions they have with the Tanzanian government.
The most challenging part of my Exhibition was when COVID-19 reached Tanzania and then the schools shut down. It was challenging presenting my presentation when I knew later that week I was going back to the UK and seeing all my belongings packed away made me even more sad.
If I could turn back time I would try to use less words and attach more pictures and videos to make my presentation more interesting. Also I could read more books instead of mostly using the internet because the internet can sometimes give you information that is not 100% true.
I have learned a lot from this experience. It has given me more motivation and confidence to progress into a secondary school next year.
Bob Cofer said, Great work on the poster. You showed some real maturity in some of your relections concerning what you learned on this project. Keep with it and good luck next year.

zitha said, Hi, Reuben. Your presentation was a hit and I loved it when you chose to be a Hadzabe. You are a tough guy. Well done and all the best in your new school.
Anna Marsden said, Dear Reuben, thank you for sharing. You have obviously thought very hard about what the different people around Tanzania can give one another. Your appreciation of diversity, whilst remembering that we share a common humanity, was impressive. This really showed us what it was to be a member of UWCEA.

William Melhado said, What an informative presentation! Your level of research is impressive, I learned how various tribes are being affected by changes to their evironment and how they are adapting. Thanks for putting together such a fantastic presentation!
Ms. Catherine Shayo said, Reuben I was so impressed with your presentation..You were so confident and well organized too.Congratulations!
Deborah Mills said, Reuben – I was so impressed with your presentation. It was not easy to carry on reasearching about the tribes of Tanzania when the school shutdown meant field trips to see the Hadzabe were no longer an option. You maintained your customary resilience and optimism and came up with such a great idea for action. You showed yourself to be very open minded as your thinking moved from how could you help Tanzanian tribes to what could you learn from them. You have done a great job and I am very proud of you. Ms. Deborah
