Advanced technology is a paramount tool in the 21st century

Advanced technology is a paramount tool in the 21st century

DANIEL SEMBERYA

Once upon a time Jesus Christ, the Savior asked one of the ten lepers who had received their healing from leprosy miraculously after Our Lord had told them to go and show themselves to the Pharisees-while on their way they were all healed miraculously from their leprosy. only a Samaritan leper went back to Jesus Christ at least to say thank you for the healing –then jesus asked him "Where are the other 9 lepers…”, He asked!

Our Lord Jesus Christ wanted to show us the importance of saying “Thank you to whatever good somebody, somewhere has done for you”. For that matter personally I would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG THANK YOU to both MISA TANZANIA and the VIKES FOUNDATION (FINISH FOUNDATION FOR MEDIA COMMUNIC ATION and DEVLOPMENT), with the support from the ministry6 of Foreign Affairs of Finland for organizing a five day internet training for Tanzanian journalists.

When today we are closing the page, I would humbly also give a lot of thanks to our facilitator to the workshop, Mr. Peik Johansson for his dedication to ensure some journalists in Tanzania, though not all, at least get internet knowledge, which is an important tool for them ion their daily undertakings. I understand you left alot of things to do at home including your familily for the sake of your brothers and sisters in Tanzania.

“Thank you Mr. Johansson for your kind heart of sharing the knowledge you have to others, baring in mind that knowledge is not a personal property”. May the Almighty God, bless you a hundred folds.

I understand the course was very educative and interesting; however, the time set for it was too short to gain a lot from your lectures. Nevertheless, I am sure what we have got will make be more effective in making use of the internet in modern journalism. Especially for fact finding, news monitoring, communication and publication with the purpose of creating balanced and critical high quality journalism for media; and explain how internet and other digital media have changed the world of communication and media.

BRAVO Johansson and Misa Tan. Keep it up- remember education is an ocean.

Ends.
